My Take
Sajjad Delafrooz is, to me, the flower of the villain's role. Born in Iran, raised in the UAE, and finally let loose in Bollywood, he stood toe to toe with Salman Khan in Tiger Zinda Hai and was anointed by Khan himself as the new Gabbar Singh. Do not underestimate that: a foreign actor commanding a marquee antagonist role in Indian cinema is rare air, and he later won fresh acclaim in Special OPS. Add directing and producing to his range and you have a genuine polymath with a Scorpio's relentless will. I'm endlessly drawn to men who cross borders and forge a place of their own.
