Bad never looked this good! The Showsha Reel Awards 2024 are celebrating Bollywood’s most brilliant baddies, and the Best Actor in a Negative Role category is packed with scene-stealers who made us love to hate them. The prestigious award ceremony will be held on March 20, in Mumbai. From Arjun Kapoor’s intense villainy to Vikrant Massey’s dark and devious turn, let’s meet the men who have been nominated in the category of best actor in a negative role.
R Madhavan: In Shaitaan, for which he has been nominated, R Madhavan delivered one of his most spine-chilling performances to date. His eerie calmness and sinister aura made him a villain who didn’t need to raise his voice to send shivers down the audience’s spine. With every calculated move, he proved that sometimes, evil whispers louder than it shouts.
Abhishek Banerjee: Abhishek Banerjee was at his menacing best in Vedaa. His portrayal of a dark and unpredictable antagonist was gripping, making it impossible to guess what he’d do next. His chilling expressions and commanding screen presence made him worthy of a nomination.
Vikrant Massey: Stepping into an unexpected avatar in Sector 36, Vikrant Massey proved he could ace negative roles just as well as heroic ones. His transformation into a cold, calculated character was both gripping and unsettling.
Gulshan Devaiah: In Ulajh, Devaiah played a villain who was as charismatic as he was dangerous. His smooth-talking, layered portrayal made his character all the more unpredictable, keeping audiences hooked with every twist and turn.
Arjun Kapoor: Taking on a major franchise, Arjun Kapoor brought the heat in Singham Again, going head-to-head with Ajay Devgn’s fearless cop. In a world of justice and action, Arjun made sure his antagonist stood tall. His fierce screen presence and raw aggression made his villain a force to be reckoned with.
Shaheer Sheikh: Making his mark in the mystery thriller Do Patti, Shaheer Sheikh stepped into a darker role that showcased his versatility. His chilling performance added depth to the film.
