He reasons that he had no reference to the character in romantic thriller "Ek Villain", in which his role is that of a man with grey shades.
"To do an action-oriented and intense film right after doing romance is far more taxing because real life references are not there.
"Neither am I such a kind of person in real life nor do I know somebody with such personality. So, in that case, you have to work much harder, do homework as an actor, have to work on your look and this is what I have tried to do in the film," the actor told reporters here Tuesday at Lawman Pg3 store.
He hopes to do a range of films and characters post "Ek Villain".
"Hopefully after 'Ek Villain' I will get more films where I can do both positive and negative characters," added the 29-year-old, who turned to acting after being a successful model and working as an assistant director.
Directed by Mohit Suri, "Ek Villain" also features Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor. It will hit the theatres Friday.

And the reason which has reportedly surfaced as the root cause of this disaster is the insecure attitude of Katrina. If chirps of a "Khabru birdie" from tinsel town are to be believed then after a recent spat on the sets of "Jagga Jasoos" over Hrithik, now the couple's relationship has once again landed in troubled water, where they have decided to call it off forever.
But this time the reasons for the same are altogether different, where Kat's suspicious attitude has taken it's toll on the duo's relationship. Reports pertaining to this unholy separation suggest that Kat's secretly spying on Ranbir out of insecurity has not gone down well with her free spirited beau Ranbir, who has now decided to move out of this romantic loop.
It is pertinent to mention here that this is not for the first time that, Ranbir has decided to move out any relationship due to some attitude problem of his ladylove. Even in the past this young Casanova of Bollywood dumped his previous girl Deepika after being fed up of latter's habit of spying upon him. Reportedly leggy lass often dropped by on the sets of "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" just to keep an eye on her then boyfriend, which thoroughly annoyed "Rockstar" Ranbir.
Well after seeing sizzling on and off screen chemistry of Kat and Ranbir all we can recommend to Ms Kaif is that,"trust your man if you really don't want to loose him".

"I have done a lot of films for friends. Now I want to do films for story. I don't regret it (having done any films for friends) and for me, it's never a mistake. I am like that - I always think from the heart, so it's fine," Kareena said here.
The actress, who has been part of some commercial films like "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham....", "3 Idiots", "Bodyguard" and "RA.One", has also done offbeat roles in films like "Chameli" and "Talaash".
What was her reason behind choosing those?
"I did 'Chameli' and 'Dev' becaue I needed to balance myself. I come from a family where I needed to prove myself. I was 21 when I played a prostitute in 'Chameli' and I played it again in 'Talaash'...both have been great films of my career," she added.
Now that Kareena will soon be seen in a commercial film like "Singham Returns", is she open to the idea of taking up an offbeat movie at this point of time in her career?
"I will do that but I won't do it just for the sake of it because I did 'Dev', 'Chameli' and 'Omkara' when I was the most (successful) commercial actress. At this stage, I will not do a film just like that or heck of it, because I have done that and I am happy doing commercial films."
"I don't have to prove anything (now). Most importantly, the script has to be good."

"Ishq ki Ijaazat" is a film poem by Satyanshu and Devanshu Singh, and Huma is said to have rendered the poetry.
"I believe everyone should have the freedom to choose for themselves," Huma said in a statement.
The initiative is not an angry statement against Article 377 that criminalises homosexuality. It is a poetic campaign to urge people to bring love out in the open and not about sexual preferences. It is about a basic right that every human being deserves - to be able to love with dignity, and not prejudice, the statement said.

According to sources he called up the actress and offered any help that she would need.
Salman said at the launch of his new film's first-look that he doesn't tolerate tantrums. He obviously doesn't mind tolerating his own tantrums. At the first-look launch of Kick, Salman kicked up a royal fuss when a spunky journalist asked him to give his take on his buddy Preity Zinta's ongoing conflict with Ness Wadia.
Salman, not known to be a bright student of the Cool School, lost his cool in no time at all, intimidating, ridiculing, mocking and trying to shut down the journalist. Finally he burst into a dance when the journalist (God bless her free spirit) insisted on an answer.
When Salman danced Jacqueline Fernandez slavishly joined in, Randeep Hooda clapped. And never mind if the jig was a dance dismissing and disregarding Preity's brave battle for her dignity.
When Salman dances, those around him do the same. They have no choice. This was self-preservation, an art form that our industry specializes in.
A former close friend of Salman has an interesting take on his public display of disdain for his buddy's distressful battle. `There are two Salmans. There is the loving caring Salman in private. That Salman, I believe, rang up Preity and spoke to her offering all help and support. Then there is the public Salman which thrives on ridiculing people and their problems. This is his way of entertaining his fans.

According to sources, the original plan was that only Salman Khan would watch the rushes with the director Nikhil Advani.
However, Salman Khan invited Suniel and Manna Shetty, Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahib to watch the film’s rushes along with the lead pair
The source said, “Salman decided that it was only fair to watch the rushes with Sooraj and Aathiya and their parents. The film means the world to them. Salman felt it was very unfair to keep them out of this experience. Aditya Pancholi, Suniel Shetty and his wife were duly summoned. Sooraj’s mom Zarina is away shooting for a film.”
The first glimpse of ‘Hero’ proved an eye-opener. Apparently, Sooraj and Aathiya who watched themselves for the first time on screen were showered with compliments by Salman Khan.
Aditya Pancholi said, “We watched two songs and one action sequence. What I saw left me speechless, not only because that was the first time I was seeing my son on screen. I’d have reacted equally incredulously even if the film starred another actor. Nikhil has done something magical to Subhash Ghai’s Hero. Both Sooraj and Aathiya are going to take the audience by surprise. They don’t act like newcomers at all.”
Aditya Pancholi also refuted reports that he has been signed to play the main antagonist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’. “It was just one meeting and nothing was decided. I told the journalist that by writing about it he would finish off whatever chances I have of getting the role. Mr Bhansali is my neighbour. My wife and his mother are very close friends.

Ravi Teja’s charisma along with a quirky story line proved enough to set the box office cash registers ringing. The Telugu flick grossed nearly Rs 22 crore at the box office and back in 2009 it was considered to be a big deal for a regional film to earn so much amount.
Seeing the unprecedented victory at the box office, Kick was later remade into Tamil as Thillalangadi in 2010. But alas the Jayam Ravi-Tamannaah starrer failed miserably at the box office. So when Salaman Khan decided to star in the Hindi remake Kick, it was a bold decision as it could easily back fire as Tamil remake Thillalangadi did at the theaters.
After his last outing at the silver screen, Jai Ho, turned out to be a dud, we wonder if bhai is taking a serious risk with Kick. The million dollar question is will Salman’s Kick ,if not outshine, but at least recreate the magic of Ravi Teja’s Kick? What do you think peep

"Fitness is like brushing your teeth. You must include fitness to your daily life. For `Humshakals`, I had to lose 5 kg. So, I went to this famous dietiecian - Pooja Makhija - and she gave me a new diet plan," Tamannaah told reporters.
"I am allowed to eat everything - rice, pastas, and nuts, but controlled portions. At one point of time you don`t eat too much of anything and it really helped me to lose weight," she added.
A known name down south, the actress started working out "six years back".
She said: "I was a fussy eater. I had to pull down a few kg to look a certain way. People should not enter into dieting without any guidance. You should take professional help."
"I always kept myself fit compared to other people because I feel if your lifestyle is not fit, then you can`t work properly. If your lifestyle is unhealthy, it will reflect on screen," she added.
Scheduled for a June 20 release, director Sajid Khan`s "Humshakals" stars a host of big names like Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta and Ram Kapoor.

Before "Hate Story 2", Surveen was seen on the small screen and Punjabi films.
"If you ask me, I am the most comfortable in my skin, today. I am extremely happy for who I am, what I am and that to me is sensuality and sexuality, not showing off skin," Surveen said here Thursday at the promo launch of the film.
"That (showing skin) is only a way to showcase glamour and nothing more than that. So I don't give it a lot of importance," she added.
"Hate Story 2", a sequel to the 2012 film "Hate Story", which starred Paoli Dam in the lead, also stars Sushant Singh.
It has been directed by Vishal Pandya and produced by Vikram Bhatt.Surveen wants the Indian audience to stop smirking at bold scenes in Hindi films now.
"Time has come (when) we stop being hypocrite about it and show love the way it is supposed to be shown. I think times and cinema have changed," Surveen said.
"We acclaim films from overseas and say 'what a great job done'. But when we Indians do it, it becomes weird. For me and every professional, it's just a job, I don't see a reason why it should be prohibited," she added.

Esha, who appeared in bold outfits in Jannat 2 and Raaz 3, is not comfortable doing a sex or adult comedy. "I would not do a sex comedy as I don't understand it.
When I did Jannat 2 and Raaz 3, people kept telling me I was bold, but we did not make fun of the term bold or sex, we presented it as an art," Esha told PTI.
"I wonder how people make jokes on sex. There are films like Grand Masti and others which do good business. There is a market for it and it is ok. But I won't be ok being part of sex comedy films," Esha added.
Sharing similar sentiments is her Humshakals co-star Tamannaah, who also won't do it (sex comedy). "I watch films with my family so I don't want to do something that I am not comfortable doing. There is a market for sex comedy films. There is a section of audience that enjoys such films. I enjoy watching and doing romantic-comedy films, comedy films and intense films," Tamannaah said.
In Humshakals, leading lades Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta will be seen sporting bikinis. While Tamannaah had reservations wearing them.
"I am wearing shorts in the film and not bikini. I have set a rule of not wearing bikinis and not kissing on screen, I still stick to that. I won't do anything that I am not comfortable with," Tamannaah said.

A Spanish remake of Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Bollywood offering Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl is underway, an official statement from the Indian movie studio confirmed Friday.
YRF sealed a deal with Colombia’s 64-A Films to remake the Aditya Chopra-produced and Maneesh Sharma-directed film, which stars Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma.
“This is truly path breaking for not just YRF as a studio, but also for the Indian film industry at large, as it paves the path for more such opportunities for everyone. We look forward to Ricky getting up to his tricks in Latin America now,” Avtar Panesar, vice president – International Operations, YRF, said in a statement.
The deal was closed in Cannes and Diego Ramirez of 64-A Films expressed his excitement at tying up with YRF on a first of its kind remake of a Bollywood film.
“I think the character of Ricky Bahl is the real asset of this film and we look forward to adapting this for Colombian and Spanish audiences everywhere.
“As of now we are looking to film this in four Colombian cities of Cali, Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena for the sun and beaches there – there is a possibility to go across Latin America once the final script is locked,” Ramirez said.
