New Delhi: Back in the day, being a hero meant an actor who could fight goons, exude revenge and anger in his demeanour but this scenario has changed for good with the changing times. Heroes today don’t necessarily punch people in the faces or extensively flaunt masculinity. They are sensible, emotionally vulnerable and are aware of their flaws. Here is a look at some actors in the Indian entertainment arena who are redefining heroism:
Vikrant Massey
Vikrant Massey has been delivering some of the finest performances be it OTT or the silver screen. Starting from TV to the recently released ‘Gaslight,’ Defying the age-old definition of a typical Bollywood hero, with his lean physique and solid expressions, Vikrant’s portrayals are definitely the game-changer.
Vijay Varma
With the success of the recently released, ‘Daahad,’ Vijay Varma has yet again proven his mettle as a versatile actor. After wooing the audiences with his boyish charm in ‘Gully Boy,’ and enraging the audiences with his negative portrayal in ‘Darlings,’ Vijay’s boy-next-door resonance and unconventional craft is definitely a secret ingredient to the success of various shows and films.
Varun Mitra
Varun Mitra continues to prove his acting prowess with realistic portrayals. Hitting a home run with his recent OTT web show Saas Bahu aur Flamingo, Varun’s character in the show Kapil has garnered masses attention. His portrayal as the suave, layered and critically acclaimed Deepak Rana in ‘Guilty Minds’ is substantial in this category. With his consistently conventionally unconventional portrayals, Varun is clearly setting the rules for ‘heroism’ on OTT.
While these actors continue to woo us with their superlative craft, we can’t wait to see more of them! In the meanwhile, why don’t you share your favourite actors redefining the content space on OTT and in theatres.
