The actor mentioned that he portrays a villain that is exceptionally distinct, a rarity in Hindi cinema. He said that his character is intelligent, whose mind is his most potent weapon, and who holds considerable authority to set his nefarious plans into motion across nations.
Emraan continued by saying that his sole purpose in the movie is to destroy Tiger and his family, and by doing that, he wants to take out the biggest super agent of India.

The actor also emphasized the lasting impression that villains often leave on people. He added that playing an anti-hero is always fun because one can portray someone, who has no regard for rules, and instead, they create their own rules. Therefore, Emraan remarked that he seized the opportunity, knowing that he would have the liberty to create a villain that would hopefully be remembered for a long time.
He concluded by saying that he is grateful to filmmaker Maneesh Sharma for guiding him in bringing Aatish to life. He said, "It was his vision for the character that I was sold on. He helped me craft a character that I'm immensely proud of." Tiger 3, directed by Maneesh Sharma, also stars Katrina Kaif in a key role. The film is scheduled to be released on November 12, 2023.
