MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Vijay Varma had sent shivers down the spine with his portrayal of a chilling villain in the superhit movie 'Pink' in 2016. His character, though widely hated, earned Vijay immense praise and appreciation from both audiences and critics alike.
Recently, while speaking to IANS, Vijay elaborated on what it took to portray the negative character he played in Pink. “It tends to take a bit of time to adjust, and it can be difficult, ” said Vijay while talking to IANS. “I remember when Sujith Da cast me in Pink. It was a very powerfully written but dangerously written scene—a very gruesome one in a car with Taapsee (Pannu) and the other two boys, ” he added.
Vijay, admitting how difficult it was for him, said, “I couldn’t ever imagine myself pulling that scene off because I felt I didn’t have it in me. But you know, you are a trained actor, and you are supposed to deliver. The brief from the director at that time—Sujith Da and Anirudh Roy Choudhury—was: “If after watching this, a girl doesn’t feel like slapping you, you haven’t done it right.”
