Actor-filmmaker Deepak Tijori who will be seen in a villainous avatar in Sunny Leone starrer 'Tina & Lolo', says he was keen to face the camera again after a long break.

The Devang Dholakia film also stars popular TV actress Karishma Tanna.

"I was looking at doing work as an actor again, and I felt good when Devang offered me this film. Especially the icing on the cake was Sunny... Can't deny that. Most actors do have a problem in going grey on screen, but I was looking for a change and once we did the make-up test, we were sure about it," Deepak said.
 

Deepak has lost oodles of weight to look the perfect debonair villain and he is sporting a salt-pepper style for his hair .

It was almost two decades ago, when Deepak played the bad guy in Mansoor Khan's 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar' opposite Aamir Khan. Devang wanted a very strong evil character for the film, as this is a film of its first kind without any heroes, he said.

"My girls are my heroes, in my film, and so when we were looking for a new suave villain.. I thought of Deepak Tijori, he fit the bill perfectly," Devang said.
