Randeep Hooda is all geared up to essay the role of the real life serial killer Charles Sobhraj in ‘Main Aur Charles’.

However, clarifying on the concept of the flick, the critically acclaimed actor said that ‘Main Aur Charles’ doesn’t glorify crime in any way. He told Hindustan Times, “We have not glorified crime in the film. I don’t think the youth of the country take up the wrong path after watching movies. No one turned Ram after watching Ramayan, and nobody became Mahatma Gandhi after watching Munnabhai M.B.B.S. So how can come one become Charles after watching the film? The film is for entertainment. Come and just get entertained.”

“We came to know about Charles Sobhraj from the newspapers. When I was 10 or 12 years old, I heard about the name Sobhraj. Since childhood, we knew that this man is very glamorous. Amitabh Bachchan also benefited from him. The famous dialogue fromDon, ’11 Mulko Ki Police Mujhe Dhoondh Rahi Hai’ was inspired from Charles Sobhraj�۪s life,” he added.

Shobhraj is currently serving imprisonment in a Nepal jail after being convicted for his numerous brutal murders in the 1970s. He was also convicted and jailed in India from 1976 to 1997.

‘Main Aur Charles’, which has been helmed by Prawaal Raman, is scheduled to release on 30th October.
