While he may or may not be playing a cop in Ghayal Returns, one thing is certain: Sunny Deol will not be playing the antagonist in the film. Now Sunny has rarely ever played an out-and-out negative character in any of his films and when he read the crackling villain’s role that was written for Ghayal Returns, he immediately wanted to take it up — until director Ashwini Chaudhary reminded him that Ghayal Returns was a sequel and it was a little too late in the day for Sunny’s positive character from the original to turn into a negative one.
In the absence of Sunny, a few other actors have been considered for the role, but no names have been revealed as yet.
