Why does Ram Gopal Varma's 'The Attacks of 26/11 fame Actor Sanjeev Jaiswal no longer want to play a terrorist?

Ram Gopal Varma's film ' The  Attacks of 26/11', based on the incident of terrorist attack on Mumbai, was a very popular cinema. where Nana Patekar's performance was praised and Sanjeev Jaiswal who played the role of terrorist Kasab, was also successful in impressing the audience. But the dilemma with this versatile actor is that producers and directors only offer him the character of a dreaded terrorist and he doesn't want to confine himself to just one image. Sanjeev Jaiswal had to refuse to accept the role of terrorist several times.

Explaining the reason for this refusal, Sanjeev Jaiswal says, "I had played the role of terrorist Kasab in Ramgopal Verma's film, I had to prepare more mentally than physically to play that character, it took me months to get out of that character." Now I don't want to play the role of a terrorist again and go through the same mental state from which it took me a long time to get out. This is the reason why now when an offer comes to me to play the role of a terrorist, I say no. I got many more calls to play a character like Kasab, which I declined.
