When asked about his favorite contemporary villain, the Mohra actor said that Suniel Shetty and Saif Ali Khan appear to have been inspired by his looks in movies.
As reported by indianexpress.com, the actor had told Zoom TV that “playing negative roles has been attractive right from the start.”
The Ram Lakhan actor further stated that every actor wants to portray something unique which draws them towards taking up villainous roles.
“Now many of them are not really ‘heroes’, they are yesteryear heroes, they are has-beens, they are reject heroes,” Gulshan Grover said and added that “they are all giving fantastic performances.”

Speaking of his favorite villain, the veteran actor told the media outlet, “All these people watch my films and try and go in the studio and do their work.”
“Saif Ali (Khan) ke ghar pe toh 100 picturein hongi meri. Roz meri picture nikaal ke sochta hoga, daadi kaise lagaun, aankh me kajal laga lun, kya karu? Suniel Shetty ne toh ek Gulshan Grover section banaya hai, library aur photos ka. Aalim (Haakim) ke paas jaate hai. Aalim ke paas toh ek puri scrapbook hogi. Woh khud jaake dekhke aata hai (films) aur inko nahi batata hai ki Gulshan Grover se copy kar raha hun,” he was quoted as saying by the media outlet.
Moreover, the actor said that there’s only one Bad Man and that’s him “the ultimate villain.” On the work front, Gulshan will be next seen in Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 and Shankar’s upcoming film.
