Have been fan of villains since childhood, says Chunky Pandey

Mumbai April 18 (IANS) Bolywood actor Chunky Pandey who has done a negative role in the recently released Begum Jaan says that he was a fan of villains since childhood.

I have been a fan of villains since my childhood. Finally when I got the role of a villain I got scary reactions from two women. They were sitting beside me during the screening and left the hall halfway when they realised I was beside them said Chunky Pandey at a post-release interview of Begum Jaan.

After trying his hand at comedy and negative genre Chunky now wants to make his audience cry. I have done comedy and now I did a negative role. So for future I guess I wanna do an emotional character and make my audience cry said the Housefull actor.

Asked which genre was more tougher to perform Chunky said: Being a villain was an easy thing to do. Comedy completely depends on the script and the type of dialogues we get. Comedy is dependent on time and so I will say comedy is tougher than being a villain.

Sharing some funny moments from the set Chunky said: My first interaction with Vidya Balan was inside her vanity van and I was dressed up in my character. As I stepped into her van she looked at me and screamed. That was like a compliment for me.

When asked if he took any inspiration from any past villains of the industry for this role he said: I would like to become Dilavar from Muqaadar Ka Sikander played by Amjad Khan. That is the kind of negativity a villain should have.

Begum Jaan starring Vidya Balan Gauhar Khan Illa Arun Naseerudin Shah and Pallavi Sharda among others hit the big screen on April 14.
