Villains galore

The screenplay boasts of 2 major antagonists running the drug cartel. Amping up the fear factor are more villains scattered through the inter-state landscapes also including the angle of gang rivalries. The film is promising a thrilling ride as a sizeable list of villains clash against each other and Bholaa takes them on one by one.

Styling the villains

Devgn reveals that the styling for the film has been done by Radhika Mehra whom he had specifically requested to make the villains unique and distinguishable.

He further adds, "In the world of Bholaa the only one who is crazier than the villains is Bholaa himself."
