Iconic Villains Of Bollywood: #Ek Villain

What is a Bollywood movie without the presence of villains? Sure there are movies like Jab We Met that melt our heart but the feeling of watching Sanjay Dutt in Agneepath scaring the hell out of the villagers just gives us goosebumps. Bollywood has countable number of actors who made villain a brand, which other's can't afford and today we are talking about those iconic villains of Bollywood.

Villains have always been an integral part of Bollywood. Every hero in tinsel town has to be first beaten up by the bad guy to win over millions of hearts and then in the climax scene, he beats up the villain. A villain is barely ever forgotten. From their unique looks to trademark dialogues, these villains have etched an image in the minds of many. Now with the upcoming movie Ek Villain, things have changed. Now the filmmakers are not distinctively branding villain, they are in fact confusing us to such an extent that it has left us wondering who the real villain is.

For who ever may be the villain in the movie, what we cannot forget is that both the characters of Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish seems to be different and definitely will give way to yet another trend of villains in Bollywood. All these years the iconic villains had a trademark style making them equally famous as the heroes but with the Ek Villain's release probably the tables will turn and the idea of hero and villain may very well disappear from the Bollywood. Like Hollywood movies whether the character has a negative shade or a positive shade, he will be the hero of the movie.
