John, Sumeet, Vijay

Pankaj Tripathi in Ludo
Only Panjak Tripathi can blend humour and evil so well! His 'Sattu' draws instant hatred yet manages to make you laugh. He may not be the ideal bad guy we are accustomed to, but he is pretty ruthless and shrewd when it comes to getting what he wants and how he wants it

Vijay Varma in Darlings
The ever-charming Vijay Varma stunned everyone with his hate-worthy portrayal of Hamza in Alia Bhatt's Darlings! His depiction of a cruel husband felt so arguably surreal that audiences rejoiced over his character's death in the movie! 

John Abraham in Pathaan

We can hear the whistles already. With his chiseled physique and bang-on acting, John Abraham just elevated the evil and how in 'Pathaan'

Jaideep Ahlawat in An Action Hero

Jaideep Ahlawat's fiery eyes are enough to strike fear! The Anirudh Iyer directorial negated a villain's aura of a powerful man surrounded with cars, women and loads of money. Jaideep's Bhoora wanted nothing but to avenge his brother's murder and surpassed every evil to achieve his nefarious goal!

Sumeet Vyas in 'Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke'

The effervescently versatile, devilishly charming, Sumeet Vyas dynamically redefined antagonists with his portrayal of an obscure, loathsome terrorist in the critically acclaimed series, Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke.' Sumeet gave a groundbreaking,  performance as Tariq, and has proven that, just like water moulds in every vessel, Sumeet can mould himself into any character! What really stunned us was Sumeet's effortless camouflaging of a character that he has never played on screen. Tariq has only one goal, to destroy democracy and Sumeet completely manipulates the audience into believing that he can achieve this feat with his evil plans!
