Riteish Deshmukh's film choices have always been a mix of dipping into different genres of cinema, whether it is a comedy or a negative role. The actor had previously impressed audiences back in 2014 by playing a villain in Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Ek Villain. He later followed it up last year with Marjaavaan in which he played a meaner role. 

In a recent interview, Riteish opened up about playing negative roles to IANS and said, "Life is about positivity and being nice. I feel that at some point, we feel negative towards certain things. We might hate something, we might dislike someone, we might feel like punching someone and say 'I don't want to see his face ever again'. Killing is extreme though."

"I am just saying that these are the feelings that we are all filled with. We feel love, humour, empathy, compassion, hatred...but in the overall behaviour of ours because of education and our upbringing, we know how to differentiate between good and bad," Riteish added. 

Riteish further shared that he is currently teaching his children to share. "Saying 'thank you' is good, sharing toys is good, it's okay to be second and not to win every time. These are the things you teach your children and prepare them for life. But there are certain people... probably because of their own insecurities. We see that in society, they take up different things... evil things. We have read about those people but on screen, to get an opportunity to play them and getting into their mind and getting that swag, I got to do that in Ek Villain where I was trying to get into the insecurities of a man, who was a serial killer," he shared.

On the work front, Riteish will be next seen in Baaghi 3, which also stars Tiger Shroff and Shraddha in lead roles.
