Aparshakti Gears Up To Play Villain In Emraan Hashmi's Gunmaaster G9
Known for his comic charm in films like Stree and Luka Chuppi, Aparshakti Khurana is now stepping into a darker, more intense role. Aparshakti Khurana, known for winning hearts with his comic timing and lovable screen presence, is stepping into an all-new avatar. In a bold move that marks a sharp departure from his usual light-hearted roles, the actor will be seen playing a villain for the first time in Aditya Datt's upcoming family-action drama Gunmaaster G9. The film also stars Emraan Hashmi and Genelia D'Souza in pivotal roles. Opening up about this dramatic shift in character, Aparshakti revealed that taking on a negative role was never a sudden choice but something he had been eager to explore. He said, 'I've always wanted to explore grey characters, and Gunmaaster G9 gave me the perfect opportunity," in a recent interview. 'This role is layered — it's not just about being menacing with brawn. There's intelligence, pain, and an emotional backstory that drives the madness, " as per Jay Ho. For an actor long associated with laughter and lightness, stepping into such complexity reflects both risk and range. Director Aditya Datt, known for films like Table No. 21 and Commando 3, shared that casting Aparshakti as the antagonist was a conscious decision. Aditya Datt shared, 'He has the intensity I was looking for — but also the vulnerability. You won't be able to take your eyes off him." Apart from showcasing a never-seen-before side of Aparshakti, Gunmaaster G9 is also grabbing headlines for reuniting Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya. The nostalgia factor, mixed with a fresh dose of action and emotion, is expected to resonate with a wide audience. Producer Deepak Mukut recently shared some eye-catching motion posters of the film on social media, giving fans a peek into the stylised universe of Gunmaaster G9. With intense voiceovers by Emraan, Genelia, and Aparshakti, the teasers have already begun to generate buzz. His caption read: 'Doodh to baroodh, Sabzi to Gundas, bullets to beats, Gunmaaster G9 is getting ready for mayhem, and the team is locked, loaded and lethal!" He added, 'Rockstar Entertainment are happy to bring the trio back! Emraan Hashmi, Aditya Datt & Himesh Reshammiya along with Genelia Deshmukh & Aparshakti Khurana – for a pulsating, new-age action drama, Gunmaaster G9." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deepak Mukut (@deepakmukut) When And Where To Watch The film is expected to go on floors post-monsoon, with shooting scheduled across various Indian locations.
