Salman Khan said his character in ‘Antim’ is one of the most difficult on-screen portrayals

Salman Khan recently described his character in Mahesh Manjrekar's 'Antim: The Final Truth' as one of his most difficult on-screen portrayals. 

The actor described it as the "binding agent" that holds the story together. 

Salman commented on the character, saying, "

In 'Antim', I played the role of a cop, but a little different this time around. It has been one of the toughest characters that I have played till date. Everything- right from my look of a Sikh cop to my dialect and calm-peaceful persona of the character is more unusual than my previous roles.

He went on to explain how important the character is to the plot of the film, saying, 

There are no romantic songs and angry young man nuances, yet Rajveer Singh's character is very crucial that ties the film together. I am glad that people have shown so much love and support for both characters - Rajveer Singh and Rahul

Salman went on to praise his fellow actor in the film and brother-in-law, Aayush Sharma, saying, 

It was amazing to see Aayush work so hard for the project. I see a lot of potential and his hard work really came through.

Director Mahesh Manjrekar elaborated on his thoughts on the film, saying, 

Salman and I have come together after a long time, so, with Antim, I wanted to bring a story and characters that the audiences have not seen before. I tried to push both Salman and Aayush beyond the kind of roles they have done in the past and break the mold.

He went on to say that he has always believed that Salman's character in the film will be well-liked by the audience,

Salman's character in this film, a simple and calm turban-clad cop, is different from the parts that he has previously played in his career. But I had faith that this change will be loved by the audience
