Suniel Shetty will be seen playing the role of an antagonist in Rajinikanth's next "Darbar". The cop drama will be directed by AR Murugadoss. "He is playing the role of a villain, a stylized villain. In this action film he will be seen as a businessman," a source close to the actor told PTI.
The actor has earlier played a negative part in Shah Rukh Khan starrer "Main Hoon Na" (2004). The 57-year-old actor will begin the shoot for "Darbar" in July in Mumbai. Rajinikanth, who plays the role of a cop, started shooting for the film in Mumbai in mid-April. This isn't Shetty's debut in south. He has previously acted in Malayalam movies. He recently wrapped up Priyadarshan’s multi-lingual period drama "Marakkar: The Lion of Arabian Sea", which also stars Mohanlal.
Shetty will also be seen in a Kannada film "Pailwaan" alongside Sudeep. Besides his south commitments, Shetty will be seen reuniting with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal for the third installment of "Hera Pheri".
