Anil Kapoor wants to cross over to the dark side and play a truly evil character. He admits he plays characters with shades of grey, but his dil maange more!

“I have never been offered a completely black (sic), psychotic role like Sanjay Dutt in Agneepath — a role with no explanation or justification — someone so evil people will shudder in fear. I want to play something like Christoph Waltz did in Inglourious Basterds (as Hans Landa) or Leonardo DiCaprio (as slave owner Calvin Candie) did in Django Unchained. I love the passive agressive violence and cunning in their characters.”

But the negative role has to be convincing for him to say yes. “It has to excite me. The producer, director and the script are important considerations as well. I don’t think I’ve been offered such roles before because I’ve played very possitive characters so far. My role in Ram Lakhan is still remembered! My lovable, entertaining, family man image makes people expect certain things of me.”

Ask him what’s next after playing Majnubhai in Welcome Back, and he says, “I have been getting offers, but haven’t committed to anything yet. My only focus right now is the second season of 24. Films will happen after that.”
