Saif Ali Khan on playing Raavan in Adipurush: It’s a big thing to play the main bad guy, right?

Adipurush is one of the most awaited movies so far and the movie will star some of the biggest stars. Adipurush will star Saif Ali Khan, Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh and many more. Saif Ali Khan recently opened up about playing Raavan in Adipurush and he said that the character will be larger than life which makes him more interesting to play.

Saif said that he will be having 10 heads at a time and it is pretty cool. He also said that for the character everything comes from vanity. Talking about the character, Saif said that Raavan’s outlook is just incredibly clouded, blind and vain.

Saif said in an interview with Film Companion that there will some trickery involved, but a lot of it is real in the sense that they want the actors’ to train and look particularly, “The point is he (Raavan) is India’s kind of Satan, he’s the demon king and I guess what drives him…I was trying to find a way into doing this and I think that the thing is vanity, the personification of vanity, so everything comes from there. Everything – the boons that he prays for, the kingdom that he wants. His whole outlook is just incredibly clouded, blind and vain. He’s a monster and he’s strong and fun to play in that sense.”

He further added, “But the whole point of the story, in a way, psychologically, really, is overcoming the monster. That’s what the story is about. It’s about Lord Ram overcoming him and the stronger he is, the more of an achievement it is for the hero. So he’s dressed up in dazzling clothes and he’s got an array of weapons and he’s got a tremendous amount of knowledge and skill and power but he’s vain and he says some outrageous things. But it’s a big thing to play the main bad guy right? And I’ll tell you one thing, though, I do have ten heads at a point which is one of the cool things.”
