"I have tried not to get branded as a villain or aserious person in the movies. I am tired of this image,"Sushant, who came into limelight playing a villain in RamGopal Varma's 200 film Jungle, told PTI here.
The actor said despite his aversion to doing negativeroles anymore, he keeps getting offers to play a baddie.
"In the beginning I was portrayed as an angry youngman and then I got the tag as someone good at playing a highlyemotional character," he said, adding that he can't help it.However, Sushant said his latest film, Yeh SaaliZindagi directed by Sudhir Mishra, has him essaying adifferent role.
"After this film, I hope the directors will offer medifferent roles," the actor said.
