Mumbai, Aug 13 - After being seen as a baddie with a heart of gold in the Munnabhai series of films, Sanjay Dutt is set to don the avatar of deadly gangster Ringmaster in 'Aladdin'.

The actor will be seen as a villain who can inspire tremendous awe and fear in the audiences' mind. Director Sujoy Ghosh feels his character will take villainy to new heights.

'He (Ringmaster) is a fun, evil character. A man who is happy in what he is doing. A man who is good at being bad, whose smile would scare the living daylights out of you. A man so big that even the all powerful genie would be rendered helpless in front of him.

'And to play such a powerful character, I couldn't think of anyone but Sanjay Dutt.
