Kunal Kemmu wants to do romantic, negative roles

Actor Kunal Khemu says he is eager to do romantic-comedy films and play a "hardcore negative character".

"There are two kinds of characters that I'm eager to do. I haven't done any rom-com or romantic film and I haven't done any hardcore negative character. So, these are the two characters that haven't explored yet so I am hoping to get a suitable script and do such roles as early as possible," said Kunal.

Kunal, who is promoting his forthcoming thriller "Bhaag Johnny" with actress Zoa Morani, says his wish to portray a negative character has somewhat got fulfilled with this film.

He said: "In one of the tracks, I've got the opportunity to portray a negative shade which is for the first time. It's not absolutely a negative character, but it is the darkest that I've played. As an actor, it is extremely interesting for me and so I'm very excited for it to see how the audience reacts to the film."

Kunal's "Kalyug' was also an emotional thriller, but he dismisses any similarities between "Bhaag Johnny" and the 2005 film.

He said: "The characters and the stories are completely different. There is a good amount of freshness in the film. Perhaps you'll see some similarities in the first track, but the circumstances are different. So, if you compare 'Bhaag Johnny' with 'Kalyug', then there are hardly any similarities."

"Bhaag Johnny", directed by Shivamm Nair, is releasing on Friday.
