From superhero to smooth-talking thief - Hrithik Roshan is getting an image makeover in his new movie Dhoom2.

The popular Indian actor's current star turn has him playing the country's first silver screen superhero - a man who leaps over buildings in the blockbuster Krrish.

But later this year, he'll be gracing the big screen in Dhoom2, the sequel to the 2004 hit Dhoom, as a suave gentleman with sticky fingers, although the actor is quick to note that his character is no villain.

"He is a suave, charming man of few words. He is intelligent," Roshan said on Friday. "He's another kind of superbeing."

Dhoom2's plot is being kept under wraps, but Roshan said his character ends up on the wrong side of the law.

"He is quite fantastic in his own way and he's so good at what he does. There is no other way for him but to be a thief," he said.

In the original, a policeman played by fellow star Abhishek Bachchan chases a gang that uses souped-up motorcycles to rob rich Mumbai businessmen.

Bachchan is back for the sequel, which also stars Bollywood actresses Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu along with Roshan.

"Dhoom2 is much, much more than bikes this time. There are other kinds of sports and different kinds of wheels," Roshan said.

In fact, the cast and crew are currently shooting action sequences in Swakopmund, Namibia, a world-renowned spot for sandboarding, which is like snowboarding but on sand dunes.

"I'm shooting my introductory sequence here. There is a lot of action - sky diving, sandboarding," Roshan said. "I had to train a lot for it."

After finishing up in Namibia, they'll head to Durban, South Africa, to wrap up the action shoots before returning in August to Mumbai.

Despite the fun he's having, Roshan said he misses his 3-month-old son and wife so much that for his next film, "I'll try and plan shoots closer home."
