In 2012, the Hindi film industry woke up to the potential of Sanjay Dutt as an intimidating villain, thanks to his Kancha Cheena act in Karan Malhotra’s Agneepath. It looks like the filmmakers in the south are making a similar discovery, a decade on. After he made waves with his antagonist act in Kannada blockbuster KGF: Chapter 2 (2022), Dutt is being offered several villainous roles in south films. While he will be seen taking on Thalapathy Vijay in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Tamil actioner Leo soon, the latest is that he is shooting for KD — The Devil. The Kannada film, starring Dhruva Sarja, will see Dutt portray a negative character again.
