Aparshakti Khurana Sheds Layers of Bittu from Stree to Enter an Entirely New Phase as a Chilling Villain in Gunmaaster G9
When one thinks of Aparshakti Khurana as an actor, one imagines him playing the good-old friend, Bittu, from Stree, and chiming _‘Soft Chitti Warm Chitti’_. Now, keeping Bittu locked inside closed doors, Aparshakti has let absolute menace take over him in Gunmaaster G9! The riveting trailer of the film is out, and it presents Khurana in a shade we have never seen before! And all we can say is, gone is the sweet friend, Bittu, for now!
From his introductory shot itself, it can be said that the actor has entered his villainy era, where he reeks sharp intensity from his chilling stares and strong pauses. That’s not it! There’s no doubt that he intends to send shivers down the spine with his dialogues and the ease with which he wears the character, he is equally firm in bringing chills down the spine by going rogue in the action sequences. Slithering necks and unexpected fight sequences bring even more pulp to his character, making him one of the biggest highlights of Gunmaaster G9. What makes it even more interesting is: Aparshakti Khurana is the force that Emraan Hashmi has to fear in the actioner; and the face-off is going to be, hands down, epic!
While we were almost convinced that’s about it for Aparshakti, his offbeat look peppers it all. Shoulder-length unkempt hair, bohemian printed shirts, metal-rimmed shades, and an accent that adds weight to his character are elements that bring more rawness to his portrayal. Aparshakti keeps away from expansive entry shots or shouting to establish his presence, instead, he lets his rustic swag speak for itself. Going by the trailer, all we can think is: has Bollywood gone a level up with its portrayal of a villain? Because Aparshakti Khurana’s portrayal makes it seem so!
Long gone is the _soft chitti warm chitti little ball of fur!_ It’s time for _‘Rani teri morni ko mor le gaye!’_ to take over!
Gunmaaster G9 releases in theatres on November 27.
