films

so far and am awaiting a few releases. It gives me lots of happiness,” says Raaghu. What kind of roles is he being offered? “Well, after playing a humorous character in Kirik Party, I was getting offered similar characters, with some comical aspect in them. What I am looking forward to now are challenging roles, with grey shades. One character that was unique in 2018 is from the upcoming release, Mataash, where I play a

gangster

,” he says. As he wraps up this year, does he have any resolutions for 2019? “I have to come away from the stereotypical roles I have been essaying. I would love to do a major negative character.
