Also called as Sanju and Baba, Sanjay Dutt is a versatile actor. From playing the role of a lover boy to a gangster to a cop, the actor has swayed the critics and the audiences with his killer performance.
Today, as Sanjay Dutt rings his 60th birthday, we at UrbanAsian would like to write down 5 films where he played the role of a badass gangster.
- Khalnayak:
How can anyone forget Sanjay’s role in this movie! No one could have played Ballu’s character better than our Baba. The film was the second-highest-grossing Hindi film of 1993.
- Vaastav :
Sanju Baba played the role of Raghunath Namdev Shivalkar or Raghu in this film. He played the role of a gangster. He really nailed out his performance in this film. The film was very well received by both critics and audiences.
- Musafir:
Sanjay Dutt portrayed the role of Billa, who is a ruthless killer. It was the eighth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year 2004. At the box office, the film opened to almost near housefull collections of 80%-100percent all over India. Sanjay Dutt’s swag won our hearts.
- Kaante:
Ajju with his team makes a plan to rob the bank in which lie the fundings for the Los Angeles Police Department. Sanjay made the character so convincing that we fell in love with him more.
- Agneepath:
Kancha Cheena, an unscrupulous man, often mocked for his hairless appearance; he runs Mandwa as a concentration camp and exploits the villagers in order to deal in cheap cocaine. People got scared by the look of Sanjay’s character as Kancha Cheena. Sanjay Dutt received a lot of appreciation for this role more than Hrithik.
Be it comedy or a badass cop or gangster or a majnu, we love the way you portray your roles.
Happy Birthday!
