Anil - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Anil at Lokmat Times

Bollywood has had many actors essaying the role of police officers. Asked what makes him a different cop in "Malang", Anil told here: "My early memories of cop is 'Ardh Satya'. Om Puri gave one of his finest performances in it. I was really shaken up when I saw the film. I really loved the film. Om was terrific as a police officer."Then of course, there was 'Zanjeer' which was a mainstream commercial film. After that I think it was 'Ram Lakhan' - a mainstream commercial film where I played a cop who just wanted to be rich, even if he had to go against the system. I did other films as well where I played a cop", he said.The list of actors playing police officers in films goes on."There is Ajay (Devgn) who played a cop in 'Singham', Salman (Khan) in 'Dabangg'. When this role (in 'Malang') was offered to me, first I said 'let me not do this role because I have already played a cop'. There is a tendency of people saying that 'You are playing a cop again'," he said.But then he realised that "cop is something that you can play again and again".Sharing an example from Hollywood, he said: "Clint Eastwood has played so many of these roles (cop roles) like in 'Dirty Harry'."Talking abut his role, Anil said: "It is a pretty dark role. I said 'I have not played such a dark character'. I wanted to be little more fun and watchable also. It's a commercial film. I have tried to make it as interesting as I could."His look in the upcoming film has already got a thumbs up from many people. Did he give inputs to his cop look, he said: "Yes, it is a collaborative look. Mohit (Suri) wanted an all-black look but I said 'No, you know all-black... I am playing a cop so it might not look real. It might look slightly stylised'."Then I added the cop shirt. The red glasses was his (Mohit's) idea. The tattoo was also his idea," he added.He let his natural grey hair shine in the film."There is a lot of anger which he (his character) has towards the department, the system and a lot of anger towards Goa. He feels that Goa is not the way it used to be. Keeping all this in mind, I thought my hair and all should be dishevelled and he is 50 plus, so he should look like he is 50 plus. I have grey hair. I said 'Let me leave my real grey hair', which you see in the film. It's not artificial," Anil said.( With inputs from IANS )
