Vivek has played characters with grey shades in 'Company' and 'Shootout at Lokhandwala'.
"I love villain characters...They are so exciting to play. They are so different and challenging. I have played roles with grey shades, but this character in `Krrish 3' is completely black, I am a villain and I am loving it," Vivek told PTI.
'Krrish 3' will continue the story of Rohit Mehra and his superhero son Krrish, after 'Koi...Mil Gaya' and 'Krrish', both of which were hits.
Vivek plays the main villain in 'Krrish 3', against Hrithik. "My role in the film is something that I have never done earlier. Audience will get to see a different side of me in the film. I must say that 'Krrish 3 is a role of a lifetime...Of a twisted villain. I had fun doing the film."
It is his first film with Hrithik. "Hrithik is so cool guy. We grew up together, we used to cycle when we were kids. With 'Krrish 3' we were bonding all over again, reconnecting. We used to hang out, go to gym, have dinner together. Even when he was not shooting he used to come on the sets, just to hang out, to help me with the body language...Scenes," Vivek said.
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, 'Krrish 3' also stars Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut, Shaurya Chauhan, and is reportedly set to release in Diwali next year. (More)
