Mumbai: The supermodel-turned-actor , Upen
Patel has been approached by his filmmaker
friends to rustle up the suave and new-age bad man on screen. If sources are to
be believed, the south filmmaker Veera Bhadra is keen to rope in Upen for his
untitled Telugu flick starring Aadi.
A source says, “Upen, who is riding high
on the success of his South ventures is in the process of reinventing himself
in B town. His inherent style and popularity with the youth has been working
wonders for his career.
“Upen has been talking to his friends
and associates about his passion for resurrecting the bad man image on screen
already caught the attention of the big wigs of the industry,” the source adds.
“My mean act in I was appreciated and it
has opened up a whole new avenue for me. Negative characters, if written and
portrayed well, can bring out a spectrum of human frailties. As they say, ‘Bad
is the new good’,” Upen says.
