Riteish Deshmukh on being the villain in Raid 2

Opening up about his role to news agency ANI, Riteish Deshmukh said, “It is not that I have ever thought that I have to play the role of an antagonist or do films. That depends on the film. There were at least 10-12 films in between, to which I said no, in which there was the role of an antagonist, because I did not like that story. It is not that I have to play the role of an antagonist or play the role of a big hero.”
