Mohit Suri breaks stereotypes with ‘Ek Villain’

Director Mohit Suri is excited for the release of his upcoming film, ��Ek Villain�۪.�� Although his ��Aashiqui 2�۪ (2013) heroine has been repeated, the male leads have been quite surprising, considering the roles they are portraying in the film.�� Suri says he feels they are the perfect cast for his film and he has no qualms in breaking stereotypes.

���I don�۪t judge an actor by the character he plays.��Sidharth (Malhotra) has struggled his way up, seen dark days.�� There was an angst in him that made him a perfect fit for this film.�� I break stereotypes,�۝ the 33-year-old director said in an interview to Mumbai Mirror.

When asked what convinced him to sign Riteish Deshmukh in a negative role, though he is popularly known for his impeccable comic timing, Suri said, ���When you see the film you will realise that there is no one better than Riteish for the role he plays, despite his recent image as a comic actor.�۝

��Ek Villain�۪ is Mohit Suri�۪s first film outside of his uncles�۪ ��Vishesh Films�۪ banner.�� It is produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and slated for release on June 27th 2014.
