Acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock had once quoted - 'The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture'. This is pretty much an adage that Bhatts seem to be following as well in their upcoming outing 'Murder 2'. Though the identity of the main villain in this Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez starrer was hidden so far, the cat is out of the bag. It is Prashant Narayanan, a relatively unknown entity who has done over half a dozen films during last one decade (last seen in 'Bhindi Bazaar Inc.' and 'Yeh Saali Zindagi') but has been hunting for a big break.

"With 'Murder 2', Bhatts are re-introducing Prashant who is extremely talented but unfortunately largely unrecognized", informs a source attached to the film, "Though the entire promotion of the film so far has been centred on the erotic quotient of the film and Jackie's holds-no-bar skin show, the fact is that Prashant is the one who is playing a key character here."

In this Mohit Suri directed film, Prashant plays the character of Dheeraj Pandey who is a eunuch and a serial killer. A sex addict, his prime target is women whom he brutally murders.
