South actor Prakash Raj seems to be quite in demand in Bollywood as far as negative roles are concerned. After playing the antagonist in films like Khakee, Wanted and Singham, the actor has been roped in by director Anil Sharma to play a villain in Singh Saheb the Great, which stars Sunny Deol.
Confirming the news, Anil Sharma was quoted saying that he had been quite impressed by Prakash's popularity down South and decided to cast him in the role of a villain for his movie. Raj will reportedly play a character from a royal family, who is drunk on power. Raj claimed that the character has a very different body language, which was one of the reasons which made him take up the role.
Prakash Raj will also be seen playing the baddie in Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer remake, where he will be seen playing the character, which had been essayed by the late Ajit in the original blockbuster.
There had been news that actor Kamal Haasan, whose last Bollywood flick was Hey! Ram, would be seen working in a Sajid Nadiadwala flick, which would mark the acting debut of Tiger Shroff, the son of Jackie Shroff.
However, it now seems that things did not go as planned and Haasan has been replaced by Prakash Raj, who became a household name after playing the antagonist Jaykant Shikre in Ajay Devgn starrer Singham.
Kamal Haasan will be next seen in spy thriller Vishwaroopam, which has been directed and produced by Haasan. The film, which is in Tamil and Telugu, is titled Vishwaroop in the Hindi version.
