Abbas Burmawalla of the famous director duo Abbas-Mustan says they make lovable negative characters.
"The negative characters in our films
are very lovable. It's not like the character is negative and so people
will start hating them," Abbas said here Friday at a press conference
of the film "Race 2".
"In our films, people like negative
character and we are sure that people will like John (Abraham) in this
film ('Race 2'). Not only John, all the six characters are in grey
shades, and we hope people will love them all," he added.
Some memorable performances of actors in
negative roles in their films include Shah Rukh Khan in "Baazigar",
Akshay Kumar in "Ajnabee" and Priyanka Chopra in "Aitraaz".
While both Priyanka and Akshay won the
Filmfare award for best actor in a negative role for their
performances, Shah Rukh was named best actor.
"Race 2" is a sequel to Abbas-Mustan's
2008 hit "Race", which features Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Ameesha
Patel, Deepika Padukone and Jacqueline Fernandez, apart from John. It
is slated to release Jan 25.
