One Look at him and the first thing that comes to your mind is “Ghajini”. We are talking about the big baddie of Bollywood Pradeep Rawat who is known for his several villainous roles both in the Southern Film Industry as well as Bollywood. He is best remembered for his iconic evil role in Aamir Khan's “Ghajini”!!

B-town’s thunderous baddie Pradeep Rawat known for his famous villainous roles across the various Indian film industries is back to what he does best! After winning accolades for his powerful and fearsome character in 2008’s megahit Ghajini, Rawat is back onscreen as the lead antagonist in Producer Ashok Thakeria's much anticipated comedy film Grand Masti, which is a sequel to 2004’s super hit film Masti!

He is a well known name in the south industry but when Ashok Thakeria’s ‘Grand Masti’ came his way the actor was super excited and struck by the script and took it up immediately!

In Grand Masti Rawat’s character is of principal of a college. He sports a very classy European look, with his checked jackets and berets, and plays a stern character through the film. This role is in complete contrast to the role he played in Ghajini which very evil, raw, crass, and rowdy.

Sources also say the ace villain has done the most fearsome role in B-town with Grand Masti!

A source close to the team speaks on the talented veteran being a part of the comedy sequel, “Mr Rawat portrays the main negative character in the film. He was last seen in Ghajini and the entire team felt that the kind of fear factor needed for this role, would be wonderfully brought out by him, as he is easily the next Amrish Puri of our era!”

Produced by Ashok Thakeria and Indra Kumar, Grand Masti is set for a 13th September release and is directed by Indra Kumar, starring Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Manjari Fadnis, Karishma Tanna, Sonalee, Kainaat Arora, Bruna Abdalah, Maryam Zakaria, Suresh Menon apart from Pradeep Rawat!
