Dino said that he never got the opportunity to showcase his mean side at the start of his career because of his image. “In the earlier phase of my career, filmmakers only perceived me as this sweet, good-looking boy next door,” he said in a statement. “I was offered to play a romantic hero, but never got an opportunity to do an all-out action film. I have a knack for action as I am fit and flexible, but no one has ever tapped that part of my personality. In Agent, I will get to do some raw brutal action and I’m excited about that.”

Directed by Surender Reddy, Agent stars Mammootty, Akhil Akkineni and Sakshi Vaidya. Interestingly, the name of Dino’s character in the movie is God.

Sharing more about his character, Dino said, “I play an agent who’s gone rogue. He’s quite a crazy guy, and an anti-hero. I am flaunting long hair and a beard. It has been nearly three years since I have seen my face without any facial hair. I grew my hair and beard for The Empire and haven’t cut it since then.”

The actor admitted that he has a penchant towards negative characters. “There’s a certain madness you can bring to a negative character and the audience loves watching that. Even as a kid, when I watched James Bond movies, I remembered the villains more than the protagonist. Look at The Dark Knight, the character of the Joker is unforgettable in that film,” he said.

Agent is slated to release this year.
