Exclusive: Salman Khan to play both hero and villain in 'Kick 2'

Salman Khan’s done it all on screen, except playing a villain. With his next, Kick 2, he does that, too.

“I would love playing a villain someday. But it has to be a great role. It should excite me,” he had told us during an interview last month. Now, his wish seems to have come true. How? A source reveals, “Salman has announced that he will be playing a double role in Kick 2. What is not known is that one character is a positive one, while the other is an out-and-out villain. That’s the idea.”

Who’s the brainchild behind it? “Salman, of course,” our source tells us. “Salman has found the story fascinating and is excited about playing both hero and villain. He will be fighting himself in the film and that’s a very cool idea,” adds our source.
