Actor Abhay Deol, who has mostly done positive roles in his career, will be seen playing a baddie in the Tamil movie 'Hero.' For him, playing villain was a natural progression.

"On the set of a movie called 'The Hero' where I play 'the villain!' Was a natural progression I guess, I've played the anti-hero through most of my career. Oh and this one's in Tamil ??! New language, new territory.

Grateful," Abhay wrote on Instagram on Friday. Along with the post, he shared a few photographs of himself from the set.

'Hero' is being directed by PS Mithran.
