Directed by filmmaker Karan Johar`s former assistant Karan Malhotra, `Agneepath` is a remake of the 1990 Hindi film starring Amitabh Bachchan.
In the remake, the villain, played by Sanjay, will be seen as a bald Kancha Cheena, with bulky physique and tattoos on arms.
“I am playing the role of Kancha, a baddie which the film industry will see for the first time. The look in `Agneepath` will show me in a never-seen-before avatar,” said Dutt.
Dutt`s look in the film was revealed on his 52nd birthday last week by the producer Karan Johar on twitter.
“I had put on this prosthetic make-up for my character in the film... it used to melt within an hour due to the heat. The temperature was around 48 degrees. We had called this make-up artist from abroad... I used to go mad in that hot temperature. So I thought I better shave off my hair,” said Dutt.
The remake will see Hrithik Roshan reprising Bachchan`s iconic role of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, while Priyanka Chopra would be the female lead. The villain, played by Danny Denzongpa in the original, is now being played by Dutt.
“Since I had a couple of other films lined up for release after Agneepath, I could not have shaved off my hair... I had told Karan I will not shave off. But due to the intensity of the heat and the make-up melting, I had to do that,” he said.
The remake is set to hit theatres in January.
