Bollywood's recent trend of anti-heroes is gaining momentum, with films like Animal and Dhurandhar pushing the boundaries of gritty, dark characters. Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, known for his roles in The Family Man 3 and Paatal Lok, believes it's time to move beyond the 'hero' and 'villain' labels. In an exclusive interview, Ahlawat stated that these terms are unique to India and can be limiting for actors. He credits his experience in The Family Man 3, where he played a negative role alongside Manoj Bajpayee, as a chance to explore new challenges and work with a talented cast and crew. Ahlawat's versatility was also showcased in Jewel Thief, where he impressed audiences with his dance skills in the song Jaadoo. As the Indian film industry continues to evolve, Ahlawat's comments highlight the need for a more nuanced approach to character development and acting.
