The first look of John Abraham had set the temperature soaring with John’s brawny look holding a gun in dapper suit. And now we have the baddie of the film. Nishikant Kamat’s next directorial, ‘Rocky Handsome’ will see the director play the role of a villain for the first time.
Nishikant plays the role of Kevin Pereira – a Goan gang lord who is bald, mean and the one to watch out for. Though the role of Kevin Pereira was supposed to be done by some other but due to last minute change, Nishikant’s close associates suggested he should do the role.
Since Nishikant knows the script in and out, he gave it a shot and is quite excited with the way it has shaped up.
When quizzed Nishikant about his role, he says, “I enjoy acting and am confident in front of the camera, but doing it in your own film can be scary. Also, it’s not easy to be a director as well as actor at the same time. I might not do it ever again,” confiding that he conceptualised his final look in 48 hours. “But I got to wear fancy suits which I usually don’t in real life. So it was a lot of fun,” he chuckles. “Since I had written the script, I knew the character pretty well. Kevin mouths certain Goan words. I have spent close to three years in Goa so it wasn’t very difficult for me to pull off either,” he says, adding that John was initially shocked when he found out that his director was playing the villain.
‘Rocky Handsome’, played by John Abraham, is the journey of an unforgiving man who embarks on a lethal rampage when the only person he cares about is kidnapped and taken away from him.
The film is helmed by director Nishikant and is as much about kicks and punches as it is about heart tugging emotion, since a seven year old child is the catalyst for the one-man army going into an overdrive. Set in Goa, Mumbai, Pune and Seychelles, the film is an adrenaline pumping action film embellished with a strong emotional story of the relationship between a father, who never had a daughter, and a seven year old daughter who never had a father. ‘Rocky Handsome’ shall have the backbone of a very emotional and romantic love story in the protagonist’s past.
Directed by Nishikant Kamat, presented by JA Entertainment and AZURE Entertainment and produced by John Abraham and Sunir Kheterpal, ‘Rocky Handsome’ is an AZURE Entertainment Production, set to release on 25th March, 2016.
