PTI-After playing the baddie in Subhash Ghai’s 1993 hit Khalnayak, Sanjay Dutt is set to show his wicked side again in Aladin. Dutt is all set to scorch the silver screen as the evil ‘Ringmaster’ in the modern day take on the classic fairy tale starring Amitabh Bachchan as the ‘Genie’ and Riteish Deshmukh in the title character.

"Sanjay essays the role of a most unusual villain ‘Ringmaster’, who can inspire tremendous awe and fear in the audiences mind. ‘Ringmaster’ is a character which takes villainy to new heights, but at the same time manages to endear himself to everyone," director Sujoy Ghosh said.

"He is a fun-evil character. A man who is happy in what he is doing. A man who is good at being bad, whose smile would scare the living daylights out of you. A man so big that even the all-powerful ‘Genie’ would be rendered helpless in front of him," Ghosh said.

"And to play such a powerful character, I couldn’t think of anyone but Sanjay, known as Khalnayak of Bollywood."

"The larger than life persona that he beautifully portrays on screen is unmatchable," he said.

Ghosh describes the film as "a contemporary look at the classic fairy tale packed with fun, music, masti, action and adventure". The film, produced by Eros International in association with Ghosh’s production company Boundscript also marks the debut of Sri Lankan model Jacqueline Fernandes as ‘Jasmine’
