Jackie Shroff is is inundated with offers to play the baddie in half a dozen under-production films. From Ravana to Charles Shobhraj, the actor is running the entire gamut of villainy on screen.

But the 40-plus actor`s wife Ayesha is most upset with the way things have turned out. "We get dozens of calls from young, middle-aged and elderly women alike, who rave about his good looks and even want to go out on a secret date with him and all he has been offered are rogue characters tp portray," cribbed Mrs. Shroff.

Jaggu dada has no complaints. No, it`s not that he is happy with work coming his way — he has his own production company to offer him a role, but he says with an impish twinkle in his eye, "Women adore the negative streak in me."And that`s what brings out the best in you.
