With Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam’s upcoming film ‘Kaabil’ ready for release next week, brothers Rohit Roy and Ronit Roy are set to be seen in negative shades in the much awaited film.

According to Hindustan Times, the younger Roy said,  “It is perhaps the first time that two real-life siblings are playing villainous brothers on screen as well. This film is special and one for our kids to watch. Ronit was signed first, and later Sanjay (Gupta; director) suggested my name, and I was blown away with the role. Ronit is a different kind of actor as compared to me. I am spontaneous, while he prepares for his roles.”

He continued to comment, “I want people to be repulsed by me. Unless people don’t come out the theatre hating me, then I wouldn’t have done a good job.” Did he explain his role to his teenage daughter, Kiara? “Ronit explained to me that he has been playing villainous characters, and the kids won’t see the film now, but when they are old enough they will understand that it was just a role.”

The actor did actually refuse the role initially because he felt he could not do it. He said, “The film is huge and if because of me, the story fell flat, it would have been bad. I was troubled about the role as well.”

‘Kaabil’ releases on 25th January 2017.
