Actor Dino Morea feels he is at the most interesting phase of his career. He is enthused about what lies ahead as he believes that filmmakers now see him in a different light. After the success of his villainous role in The Empire, he is set for his Telugu debut with Surender Reddy’s spy thriller titled Agent, where he will be seen as the powerful antagonist.

Here is his look from the film

Here’s what Dino had to say about doing action sequences

In the earlier phase of my career, filmmakers only perceived me as this sweet, good-looking boy next door. 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.

He also spoke about his look and character in the film

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,” he shares. So, does he enjoy playing characters with grey shades? 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.

Dino has been of South Indian Films for a while now, however, this would be his Telugu debut. He has also done films like Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000), Julie (2006), and Solo (2017), with Agent, he makes his debut in Telugu cinema. I am super excited to see him in this rather new avatar.
