It’s
one
thing
to
watch
commercial
actors
on
screen,
and
it’s
an
entirely
mind-blowing
experience
to
watch
seasoned
actors
on
screen.
And
Bollywood
features
a
few
underrated
chameleons
who
disappear
into
roles
–
whether
comedy,
emotional,
dramatic
or
thrilling
–
and
when
you
watch
them
on-screen,
it’s
JUST
THEM
on-screen!
Take
a
look:
R.
Madhavan:
Whether
it’s
the
iconic
Maddy
in
Rehnaa
Hai
Terre
Dil
Mein,
Farhan
Qureshi
in
3
Idiots,
Nambi
Narayan
in
Rocketry,
or
Manoj
Sharma
in
Tanu
Weds
Manu,
or
Ajay
Sanyal
in
Dhurandhar
–
R
Madhavan
has
set
an
impressive
standard
of
serving
a
‘performance’.
His
ability
to
embody
the
nuances
of
distinct
characters
makes
him
connect
with
the
audiences
at
deeper
levels,
and
that’s
exactly
what
sets
him
apart.
Akshaye
Khanna:
Akshaye
Khanna
is
class
apart
when
it
comes
to
getting
into
the
skin
of
a
challenging
character.
Whether
it’s
Jeetu
from
Hungama,
Sid
from
Dil
Chahta
Hai,
Aurangzeb
from
Chhaava,
Aatish
Kapoor
from
Tees
Maar
Khan,
or
Rehman
Dakait
from
the
upcoming
Dhurandhar
–
each
performance
shows
Khanna’s
unmatched
range
as
an
actor
who
can
serve
a
performance
like
Jeetu
and
transition
into
a
contrasting
grey
shade
in
Dhurandhar!
Sharman
Joshi:
Sharman
Joshi
is
a
chameleon
of
an
actor
in
disguise,
and
his
performances
are
proof!
Whether
it’s
playing
a
rib-tickling
Pakya
in
Dhol,
a
deeply-moving
Raju
Rastogi
in
3
Idiots,
an
iconic
Laxman
in
Golmaal,
and
intense
Shivaram
Rajguru
in
Rang
De
Basanti,
or
an
emotionally
layered
Rahul
Dhupia
in
Life
in
a
Metro
–
Sharman
Joshi
has
always
proven
to
be
a
director’s
actor.
Arshad
Warsi:
Arshad
Warsi
does
not
portray
characters;
he
becomes
them.
When
one
remembers
Arshad
Warsi,
one
sees
Circuit
from
Munna
Bhai
MBBS,
Madhav
from
Golmaal,
Aditya
from
Dhamaal,
Jagdish
Tyagi
from
Jolly
LLB
–
and
it
simply
throws
light
on
his
perfection
as
a
versatile
actor.
Rajkummar
Rao:
Rajkummar
Rao
has
rightfully
earned
the
moniker
of
a
dynamic
actor
by
stepping
into
roles
that
push
him
as
a
performer
even
further.
Be
it
Vicky
from
Stree,
Satyendra
Mishra
from
Shaadi
Mein
Zaroor
Aana,
Srikanth
Bolla
in
Srikanth,
Pritam
Vidhrohi
from
Bareilly
Ki
Barfi
or
Shaurya
from
Trapped
–
Rajkummar
Rao
plays
roles
that
demand
a
deeper
emotional
understanding,
layers,
and
a
thorough
understanding
of
the
character.
Vikrant
Massey:
Vikrant
Massey
does
selective
projects
but
ensures
to
serve
them
with
a
bang!
From
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
an
innocent
Manoj
Kumar
Sharma
in
12th
Fail,
a
lover
in
Hasseen
Dillruba,
a
sly
killer
Prem
Singh
in
Sector
36,
or
a
journalist
Samar
Kumar
in
The
Sabarmati
Report,
Vikrant
Massey
always
hits
the
ball
out
of
the
park
with
every
role.
These
actors
may
be
Bollywood’s
most
underrated
chameleons,
but
they
don’t
fail
to
keep
audiences
hooked
to
each
frame
whenever
they’re
on-screen!
