Hyderabad: Actor Fahadh Faasil, who will be playing a villain in the forthcoming film Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1, looks very bit menacing in the character poster that was unveiled on Saturday. The Malayalam star, who is making his Telugu debut with the Allu Arjun-starrer, is going to be seen essaying a powerful role of an antagonist on a mission.
His character poster reveals his role as an IPS officer named Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. Fahadh is seen donning a bald look and a stern expression of a determined antagonist in the poster. In the past, Faasil has delivered a slew of blockbusters that have had him playing the baddie's role.
