Bejoy Nambiar compares Batman V Superman villain Jesse Eisenberg to Shah Rukh Khan
Wazir
director Bejoy Nambiar has compared Jesse Eisenberg's character in
recently released Batman V Superman to Shah Rukh Khan's villainous roles
in films such as Darr and Baazigar.
Filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar says Hollywood actor Jesse Eisenberg's role
of villain Lex Luthor in the superhero film Batman v Superman Dawn of
Justice looks similar to what Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan played in his classic films Darr and Baazigar.
Luthor is a sophisticated young businessman and hereditary CEO of LexCorp who is fixated on defeating his archenemy Superman.
According
to Nambiar, the role seems quite similar to the grey shade characters
that Shah Rukh played in Darr and Baazigar. In Darr, Shah Rukh Khan
played the role of an obsessed lover, whereas in Baazigar he played a
cold blooded killer on a revenge quest.
"Did anyone else think
Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor was Shah Rukh from Darr and Baazigar,"
Nambiar, best known for directing films like Shaitan, David and Wazir,
posted on Twitter on Thursday.
