Anushka Shetty wants to play a negative character

Anushka had been active on social media during the promotions of her recently released film Ghaati, featuring herself with Vikram Prabhu in the lead. The film, directed by Krish, was released on September 5. Although the action entertainer opened to mixed reviews, critics were all praise for Anushka Shetty’s performance in the film.

It may be recalled that Anushka, during the promotions of the film, had disclosed that she would love to do an out-and-out negative character, should such a strong character come her way.

The actress had made this disclosure while speaking to the media during an interaction organised as part of the promotions of 'Ghaati'. Anushka Shetty, who has completed 20 years in the film industry, was asked if there was any character that she still wanted to do. To this, the actress said, "I want to do an out-and-out negative character. If a strong character comes along, I will definitely do a negative role."

Anushka's previous film with director Krish, Vedam, was a roaring success. Naturally, expectations from Ghaati were huge as the two professionals had teamed up again. When asked about her new projects, the actress had said, "I'm listening to new scripts. There's a good line-up. I'm doing a film in Malayalam. It will be my first Malayalam film. There will be a new film announcement in Telugu as well. That will also be very interesting."
