Shiva Rajkumar’s upcoming film, Ghost, is one of the most anticipated Kannada films of the year. The heist action thriller film, helmed by MG Srinivas, is the first film of the year in which the Vedha actor will be seen in a lead role. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the actor revealed he was attracted to Ghost because of the negatively shaded character.
He said that he likes doing negatively shaded roles, or anti-heroes, and said that he believed it suited him. He recalled his character from the 2022 action drama film Vedha in this regard as well. Shivanna elaborated that there was a positive and a negative shade in all human beings, and said it is more important to focus on why the negative shade is there.
The Om actor said: “Basically negative shaded role always works out very well for me. Previously we have done that action sequence in Vedha was one film, in our home production, that was more woman-centric. Even though there was an action, the character was innocent, he is not a negative shaded fellow. He is a positive guy. Here also the negative shaded is for what? Because for everything, in every human being, there’s a negative portion of him and a positive portion of him. Because negativity comes if he is positive. Otherwise, it is impossible.”
