There are lots and lots I know, the following are some examples😳…. (Here I am talking about only reel characters please do not be confused😉)
Agneepath-------Big B /Hrithik Roshan Vijay Deenanath Chauhan
Sarkar-----------Big B Subhash Nagre
Vaastav---------Sanjay Dutta Raghu
Gangster----------Shiney Ahuja Daya Shankar
Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, Subhash Nagre, Raghu, Daya Shankar are some famous gangsters of the cinema --- One thing common between them is that they had to chose this profession for their disturbed childhood/past………do we hate them ? NO--- right ….then why Sultan? Like them he is also a reel character and he was also forced to chose this profession (please note I am not supporting his deeds ). The problem is not that he is a gangster for which we are hating him … if MB's main lead RK had been a gangster then would we hate him so much😉😳T??? The main Problem is we don't want any love triangle in the story……just want to see him as a strong antagonist . So why are we highlighting the word gangster/ criminal so muck …. There are infinite examples where we love the character despite the fact that he is a Gangster or even worse than that. 😆😆
