Actor Emraan Hashmi opened up about playing an antagonist in the movie 'Tiger 3', and what made him say "yes" to this role. He told ANI, "After the lockdown, I got a call from the casting director Shanoo Sharma, 'Do you like to have a coffee with Maneesh Sharma'. I reached there, and he asked, we are looking for casting an antagonist for 'Tiger 3'."He added that it was not initially easy for him to accept the role as there is a preconceived notion about an antagonist. Emraan is known for playing romantic roles and playing this character gave him an opportunity to show a different side of him as an actor. When asked about the kind of roles he is looking at and the reason for being selective in choosing his projects, he said, "I have been getting similar kinds of roles. But after a time there is a saturation point and you feel like changing your on-screen image. That is what happened with me and thus I became selective when it comes to choosing projects."
