While details of Nawazuddin Siddiqui's role in the upcoming Salman Khan-starrer Kick are being kept under wraps, sources state that the actor will be essaying the main villain in the film.

While the actor was unable to comment as he is travelling, a source claims, `Nawaz has played characters with grey shades earlier, but in this he will be seen as an out-an-out villain in a masala film. He is all geared up to start shooting for Kick.

As an actor he likes playing different characters which give him a chance to showcase his talent.`

Ever since the news that Nawaz would star with Salman in a film did the rounds, many wondered whether it was the script or the charm of working with Salman or both that made Nawazuddin take up a rather commercial film.


When asked that Nawaz is essaying the role of a villain, director Sajid Nadiadwala maintained, `No it's not true.`

The source adds, `Nawazuddin finished a month-long schedule of Pushpendra Mishra's Ghoom Ketu in Benaras and will start shooting again for the film once he is back in mid-December after attending the Sundance Film Festival.`
