Kamal Haasan on playing Supreme Yaskin
On Wednesday, a day before Kalki 2898 AD’s release, the film’s team released a new poster of Kamal as Supreme Yaskin. Talking about the role, the actor said at the film’s pre-release event, “I always wanted to play a bad man because the bad man gets to do all the good things and have fun. Where the heroes are singing romantic songs and waiting for the heroine, he (villain) can just go ahead and do what he wants. I thought I was going to play the bad man so it’s going to be fun. But then, he (Nag) wanted it to be different. I’m almost like a sage in the film with a bad idea.”
