Adil Hussain: People thought I can play only intense roles

Adil Hussain is looking forward to his next release, Zed Plus, primarily because it is the first time that he is attempting a light-hearted role.
“People thought I can play only intense roles, but this film has given me a chance to play a common man and that too, in the lead. My character is badmaash and clever, yet has shades of innocence,” says Adil. The socio-political satire directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi has the actor playing Aslam Puncturewala, a common man living in a dilapidated house.In a twist of fate, he is provided with Z-plus security, leading to hilarious situations.

The actor says, “Aslam also has this colourful side to him. He balances his love for his wife along with his aspirations and his greed for power.” The movie also features Mona Singh, Mukesh Tiwari and Sanjay Mishra.
Zed Plus, produced by Mukund Purohit and Mandira Kashyap, releases November 28.
