Shraddha Kapoor's new look of a biker girl has received good responses from the audience. However director Mohit Suri explains that the inspiration behind the character is his wife, Udita Goswami.
Mohit says, "My characters always have an edge or something unusual about them. I wanted to introduce Shraddha differently in the film. Ten years back, I was shooting Zeher with Udita. We were put up in a small boutique hotel in Goa when she asked for a car. In those days we didn't have major budgets. So she borrowed a Bullet belonging to a hotel worker and rode it. I had never seen her like that. I decided that this was the girl I wanted to be with. So that's where I got the idea of Shraddha's character of a wanderer."
Shraddha took extensive training to master bike riding and apparently also took Mohit for a ride, when in Goa.
The Villain is under production and will release in mid-2014. It also stars Siddharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh.
