My Take
Arjun Rampal strikes me as Bollywood's great late bloomer. The industry initially filed him under model with a jawline, and he spent years outrunning that label; then Rock On!! arrived and he collected both the National Film Award and the Filmfare for Best Supporting Actor. I respect actors who win as supporting players, because it means the craft, not the billing, carried them. More than forty films into his career, he has settled into a weathered gravitas that suits villains and mentors alike. For me, he is proof that screen presence can deepen into real substance if you stay patient.
