Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who will be seen in Mohit Suri's "The Villain", says that the director has explored his dark side in the film.

"...It's a typical Mohit Suri kind of a film. 'Villain' is a different film, it's an intense dark love story and there is a lot of action in it," said the actor who made his debut with Karan Johar's "Student Of The Year".

"Every one has a dark side in them and Mohit Suri has explored the dark side of me in this film. He is the best person to explore my grey shade. It's a grey shade in the film but it's essentially a love story," he added.

"The Villain" also features Shraddha Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh among others.
