No more Mr Nice Guy? Salman Khan may play the villians in Race 3 and Dhoom 4

Fun fact for Salman Khan fans: the Dabangg hero has never played a real villain. Sure, he's played seemingly villainous characters, but they're usually one of those 'criminal with a heart of gold' types. But Sallu's track record is about to get dirty...

According to Bollywood Life, Salman Khan is considering played the bad boy in not one, but two, big banner action movies, namely Race 3 and Dhoom 4.

A source says, "Salman wants to play a cool, stylish villain. He has never played one before. His negative role in Race 3 is almost finalised, but discussions are still on with Aditya Chopra for Dhoom:4. The issue is a financial one where Salman wants a stake in D:4, just like Aamir had in Dhoom:3. Salman wants the same profit-sharing ratio that was offered to the D:3 star. Once that is finalised, he’s on.”

It is said that Race 3's cast is yet to be finalised, and even a director hasn't been announced. So it may be premature to anticipate seeing him in the Ramesh Taurani production, but we can keep our fingers crossed for Dhoom 4!
