Bollywood actors playing the role of heroes in movies take all the credits, and villains are forgotten, but no hero can exist without a villain. Earlier, we used to think that an actor playing the role of a hero is prominent until some legendry Bollywood villains broke this stereotype. Here is All That Trending’s list of top Bollywood movies where villains overshadowed main heroes.

Sholay

Kitna Inaam Rakhkha Hai Sarkaar Ne Hum Par? Legendary Amjad Khan played Gabbar Singh (main villain) in the film and delivered all these indelible dialogues.

Mr. India

Speaking late Amrish Puri, he was a benevolent and humble person; he actually wanted to act in movies as a hero but failed in a screen test. However, with his extraordinary acting skills, he proved himself and became one of the most renowned and credible Bollywood villains of all time.

Shaan

The film was commercially not successful when it was released, but the film's villain made an indelible impression on everyone’s mind.

Padmaavat

Still, without the intense portrayal of the film’s main villain, Alauddin Khilji, this film couldn’t achieve the milestone that it accomplished. Ranveer Singh played Alauddin Khilji in the movie, and he really did a pretty great job.

Agneepath (2012)

The film's villain quickly catches your attention, and the performance of Sanjay Dutt will make you hate the character.
