Actor Prakash Raj, known for his villainous roles in films such as
Wanted, Singham, Dabangg 2 and Policegiri, says he wants to direct a
Hindi film.

Prakash, who primarily started his career
with southern films, has also produced and
directed several films there.

"I want to direct a Hindi film. There is a
plan...News will roll in as it happens. As of
now, I don't want to say anything on it,"
said Prakash.

Till now, he has essayed the role of the
baddie with elan in Bollywood and is happy
with the way his career is shaping up.

"There are lot of heroes and villains in films
today with lot of action films coming up. So
I have got a place here," said Prakash.

"I am looking forward to the remake
version ofZanjeer where I am playing the role of Teja, a gang-leader. It is a
wonderful role and I hope people will like
me in that avatar," he said.

The original role was played by Ajit in the
1973 blockbuster.

Prakash, 48, portrayed a strict Army officer
in the recently-released Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

"It is a refreshing change to play a role like
this. It is rare to get such a role and film
like this. This is a film where you are not an
actor, you are part of the film, you are part
of that moment," he said.

"This is a learning and humbling
experience. Here we unlearn a lot of
things. The joy is that these kind of films
bring you lot of respect as an actor," he
added.
