Sanjay Dutt was at his menacing best as Kancha Cheena in Hrithik Roshan starrer Agneepath. The actor underwent a major body transformation to play the dark role. He not only bulked up but also shaved his head. It was the diabolical looks of Sanjay Dutt that made Kancha look extremely dangerous.

The Greek God of Bollywood is known to play an action star or a romantic hero but he managed to leave his fans impressed in Vikram Vedha. The superstar who is playing the role of Vedha has added a new dimension to his character. Roshan has sunk his teeth into making Vedha a very contrived personality and the audience loved him for it.

Ranveer Singh

The actor played the role of Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Padmaavat and was one of the highlights of the film. The actor’s portrayal of Khilji was something Bollywood had never witnessed before. The character played by Ranveer was so dark that it even took a toll on the Gully Boy star and left fans in awe of his acting chops.

Riteish Deshmukh

Ek Villain had the actor playing the role of a psychopath. The actor played it so realistically that his eerie presence on the screen sent shivers down the spine of viewers. Riteish did an amazing job and won praises galore for his role as Rakesh in the movie that also featured Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor in pivotal roles.
