Bollywood actors are no strangers to taking on challenging and transformative roles, often going to great lengths to embody their characters fully. One of the most striking transformations an actor can undergo is adopting a bald look, whether by shaving their heads or using prosthetics. Here’s a list of seven Bollywood celebrities who embraced the bald look for their roles:

Ranveer Singh in Bajirao Mastani:

Ranveer Singh is known for his dedication to his craft, and he took it to another level with his role in Bajirao Mastani. To play the legendary Maratha warrior Peshwa Bajirao, Ranveer shaved his head and donned traditional attire, perfectly embodying the regal and intense character.

In Vishal Bhardwaj’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Shahid Kapoor went bald to portray the emotionally tormented protagonist in Haider.

Do you know Babu Patti? It is a tiny village in Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh, that these days is bustling with excitement. The local residents are on a cleaning spree, but it is not just the regular spring cleaning underway.

Removing garbage and some even getting their houses whitewashed -- because everyone here are eagerly awaiting superstar Amitabh Bachchan's visit to Babu Patti -- the megastar's ancestral village.

During a recent episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', Bachchan who hosts the long running show, said that he was planning to visit the village with his family.

The Kaun Banega Crorepati episode that aired on October 20 had a rollover contestant, Ankita Singh, from Bhilai, Chattisgarh on the hot seat. Ankita called her uncle in Uttar Pradesh for help when she used the 'Video-Call-a-Friend' lifeline.

The uncle, in his turn, spoke to the Bachchan and urged him to visit his ancestral village.

Finally, last weekend of The Voice India not only saw the show enter its second phase (battle rounds) but also gave the ‘fabulous four’ coaches the chance to wear a different outfit (yay!) During the battle rounds, the audience would see 2 contestants from the same team battle it out together by performing the same song. It would be their coach who would then decide after the performance, who is worthy of staying in their team and who will be eliminated.

Saturday’s episode opened with an insight into how the coaches are preparing their teams, Coach Hr then entered with Team Hr contestants singing ‘Hookah Bar’ (Khiladi 786). Coach Shaan and team Shaan sang ‘Deewangi’ from Om Shaanti Om, coach Mika and team Mika sang ‘Jumme Ki Raat’ (Kick), whilst coach Sunidhi sang Move on from Tanu Weds Manu Returns, with her team.

Team Shaan was the first team to perform in the Battle Rounds.

It¡¦s exactly one year to this day when you surprised me and the entire industry with your chilling performance in Ek Villian. June 27, 2014, I¡¦m sure is the day you will never forget. That was, to me, your biggest Friday professionally. You surpassed your expectations as a performer and I know the kick it can give a creative person.

It¡¦s a high of knowing that you broke the standards you set for yourself. Every creative person is his or hers biggest critic. The appreciation that followed would have only been the icing on the cake. Not to mention the awards.

Every actor lives for this, and then to push himself some more; for that surreal place where he can call his own¡Xhis zone! Every actor reaches there at least once in his lifetime.

Surreal for Amitabh Bachchan [according to me] was Agneepath; for Al Pacino, Scent Of A Woman, and for Kevin Costner,...

For many women who enjoyed Bollywood during the 70s and 80s, Mithun Chakraborty was a heartthrob for many of them. Famous for films like Disco Dancer (1982) and Agneepath (1990), the legendary actor will be seen in the highly-anticipated film Kick, which stars Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in the leading roles.

Speaking about what was so special about Kick that motivated him to sign up to it (given that he is very selective about the roles he does), Mr Chakraborty responded, “After 375 films, I would say I’m fortunate to be able to consider carefully which roles I take on. I don’t accept a role for the sake of it, there has to be something special about the character that draws me to the film. When I read the Kick script I thought my character was hilarious, so I said yes. I thought it was a great project to be a part of.

To celebrate the 71st birthday of Bollywood royalty Mr. Amitabh Bachchan; BollySpice has put together a special feature which looks at the actor’s greatest moments. When we think of Amitabh Bachchan, there are many classic films, songs and scenes that come to mind but we also wanted to shine the light on some of the other favourites that we have. Read on to check out what made it onto our list!

Entrance Scene: Mard – Every Amitabh movie had heroic entry scenes, with audiences often having to wait for up to half an hour of the film until Amitabh entered. Always innovative and awe inspiring – Coolie, Hum, Toofan, Agneepath…but for our favourite pick we’ll have to go for Mard. Our hero awakes from his siesta to see an old and helpless lady being dragged to her death, caught up alongside a car, which is being erratically driven by the rich,...

Chennai, June 16: National Award winning Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty, known for his performance in "Mrigaya" and "Agneepath", will make his Telugu debut in an important role in Satya Prabhas' directorial debut.

The yet-to-be-titled thriller will feature Satya's brother Aadi Pinisetty as well as Nikitha in the lead roles.

"Initially, Mithun sir was not interested to be part of the film, but after he heard the story, he couldn't say no and instantly agreed to be part of the project. We have roped him for a very important role. I don't want to talk about it now," Satya Prabhas, director of the film, told Ians.

Aadi.

Mumbai, May 30: Actress Prachi Desai calls megastar Amitabh Bachchan an epitome of "soldier courage" and "encouragement" and would look for the same qualities in her partner.

"Mr. Bachchan has the soldier courage. He is just an epitome of that (soldier courage) for all of us," Prachi said here Wednesday at Gillete's campaign "Soldier For Women".

"He has been there and always set an example for everybody in the industry," she added.

In a career spanning more than four decades, the megastar has worked in over 180 films, including hits like "Zanjeer", "Sholay", "Abhimaan", "Mili", "Chupke Chupke", "Dewaar" and "Agneepath",.

The second installment of Anurag’s gangland epic Gangs of Wasseypur is finally out. Originally played back to back with part one at the Cannes Film Festival, the second part is literally the same film continued from where the first left off. If you want to refresh or introduce yourself to the first one here is our review for you again. For the rest of you who have been waiting since the first part, what you really need to know is what happened next? Was part two worth the wait? Is part two as good as the first? And for those who have held off, should I now go and watch them both back to back? Read on for all your answers and more…

Without giving the plot away, part one ended with the death of Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpai) and part two opens with his corpse being received by his family members.

I don’t usually begin interviews with a synopsis and a trailer, but for this one I think I must, to give you an idea about what Faiza Ahmad Khan’s Supermen of Malegaon is all about.

Malegaon, a small town tucked away near the heart of India geographically, is fraught with communal tension and under economic depression. To escape the harsh reality of their world, its people seek refuge in the fantastical world of cinema.

This passion for cinema has spurred a group of cinema enthusiasts to make their own films-quirky, low budget, socially aware and notoriously funny spoofs of Bollywood films. Their ambition has grown and now they are ready to take on Hollywood and Superman.

We follow them on this journey. At times funny, tragic, contemplative. Always warm and engaging. And as the film begins to take shape, through schemes and approaches that are sublimely ingenious, simply bizarre and purely hysterical,...

Anurag Kashyap’s name (No Smoking, DevD) has become synonymous with new age Indian cinema, which pushes boundaries and offers an alternative to the mainstream commercial offerings from Bollywood which many have become accustomed to. Gangs of Wasseypur (Gow), fresh from its critical reception at Cannes Film Festival, is part one of a self-styled almost 6 hour epic mafia film, set in the hinterlands of northern India. The central concept of the film is revenge, coupled with the rise of warring clans. It is similar to the revenge Leonardo Dicaprio sought from Daniel Day Lewis in Scorsese’s Gangs of New York, or Amitabh Bachchan fought for in Mukul Anand’s Agneepath. In Gow this revenge is laid out very early in the film by a young Manoj Bajpai, in the name of his father’s death (also played by Manoj Bajpai) and will clearly culminate in part 2 of the film.

We have a cool treat just for BollySpice readers! Here’s an exclusive image of the original ‘Vijay Dinanath Chauhan’ with the Bollywood maestro Late Yash Johar on the sets of Agneepath (1990). It has left such an impression that even after 22 years down the dialogues echo in our heads. And thanks to the remake, the movie is revived. The original Agneepath had Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Deenanath Chavan, Alok Nath as Master, Danny Denzongpa as Kancha Cheena, Neelam Kothari as Siksha Chavan.

Plot

The film begins with a morally upright and honest Gandhian Schoolmaster, Deenanath Chauhan(Alok Nath), teaching his son, Vijay about a poem, ‘Agneepath’, which describes ‘The Path of Fire’ which a man must cross in his life. This theme becomes an integral part of the story. Master Deenanath is a well-loved person, who wishes to bring education to the Village, Mandwa. However, his wish is not shared by a corrupt jamindar,...

The script has changed in Bollywood in the last 60 years - the women are more worldly, the men more macho and the cinema itself more techno-savvy, almost as good as Hollywood, says veteran cinema writer and critic Bhaichand Patel..The women in Hindi cinema are more assertive though no less beautiful (than yesteryear ones), they often smoke on screen and they are equal to men. Mainstream cinema has been a good trend-setter for equality of gender - it is happening now,. Patel told us..The hero, however, has not changed as much as women though they - the crop represented by Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan - are a little more physical and action-oriented than the early superstars like Dilip Kumar and Raj Kumar..A former Un official, Patel studied filmmaking at New York University.His new book, Bollywood.s Top 20: Superstars of Indian Cinema launched Monday,...

1973’s chartbuster Zanjeer will be remade and hopefully star many a fans’ all-time favourite actress Priyanka Chopra. The film back then was directed and produced by Prakash Mehra, but this time it will be directed by Apoorva Lakhia and co-produced by Amit Mehra (Prakash Mehra’s son) and Reliance Entertainment. Now, it hasn’t been given the final nod but it’s been said that Priyanka “is very excited about this offer and is fast working out her dates for it.”

A friend says, “Priyanka has seen Prakash Mehra’s Zanjeer several times”. If she agrees she’ll be taking on Jaya Bachchan’s role, only this time playing an Nri café owner instead of a street performer like the original. If everything goes well and Priyanka does give the okay it’ll be the third remake movie of Amitabh Bachchan’s movies she’s done with first and second being Don and Agneepath.

Glamorous Priyanka Chopra has been approached to play the female lead in ‘Zanjeer’ remake. She will step into Jaya Bachchan’s shoes and get into the role of Jaya Bachchan. If Piggy Chops says yes then she will set a hatrick as after ‘Don’ and ‘Agneepath’, this will be her third film to star in an official remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s yesteryears blockbuster. By default, Priyanka has become an obvious choice of the remaking of Big B’s blockbuster. It is rumored that the actress has been offered an whopping amount of Rs 11 crore. The film will be produced by Prakash Mehra’s son Ami...

Action movies are back in style and every actor worth a punch at the box office is getting back into to action in a big way. Ghajini in 2008 was the first action masala movie with a big star after a long time and took audiences by storm. Then followed Salman Khan’s Wanted in 2009, his Dabangg in 2010, Ajay Devgan’s Singham in 2011 and Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath earlier this year. Each film smashed records at the box office, crossing the 100 crore mark and bringing back the single screen nostalgia for action films – the grand hero entry, bravado performances and gripping tales. They also generated interest within the multiplex audiences, who were used to watching family dramas and glitzy romantic films set abroad.

In a tribute to the Bollywood action hero, we present to you some of our favourite action scenes from some of our favorite stars, in no particular order...

A new trend in Bollywood seems to be remaking Amitabh Bachchan’s old classics. Farhan Akhtar remade Don and followed it up with a sequel. Karan Johar remade Agneepath, which was a huge success at the box-office even though the original Bachchan film failed commercially.

While the remake of original Agneeapth is setting all new records at the box-office, but, senior actor Alok Nath, who played the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s idealistic schoolteacher father Deenanath Chauhan is discernibly unimpressed by the new version of Agneepath and the actor who plays his part.

Alok Nath says, “I found a certain inexperience, immaturity and rawness in the actor ...

Mumbai, Jan 29: Karan Johar's "Agneepath" has opened to a record collection and it is not just commoners who are appreciating the movie. Actress Shilpa Shetty is impressed and describes it as "paisa vasool".

"Watched 'Agneepath' last nite, whoa! what a film, performances par excellence, great narrative. Full on 'Paisa vasool', take a bow Karan Johar," Shilpa tweeted.

"Agneepath" had a record opening day collection - it grossed Rs.25 crore on the first day and surpassed the collections of recent blockbusters like "Bodyguard" and "Ra.One".

A remake of the 1990 movie of the same name in which megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

It stars Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra and Rishi Kapoor playing pivotal roles.

Amitabh Bachchan's iconic Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is still etched in the memories of film connoisseurs. We are obviously talking about Big B's character in the iconic Agneepath that won the megastar a National award. Delving into the past, as is known to most who have knowledge about Hindi cinema during the eighties and early nineties, despite much critical accolades, Amitabh's voice modulation turned out to be the achilles heel for Agneepath.

Hrithik Roshan says his performance in Agneepath should not be compared with Amitabh Bachchan. The actor, who reprises the iconic role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the remake of the '90s classic, told The Times of India it was unfair to compare the two actors. "You can't compare [with Amitabh]. If you start comparing, I will fail in a second. said Roshan. "I feel people are not saying that I have done as well, but I think what they are saying is I have done well in my way and they are cheering for me. "I don't even want to analyse. There are no comparisons in my head." Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara star Roshan has received widespread acclaim for his performance in the remake, produced by Karan Johar and directed by debutant Karan Malhotra. He has described it as the hardest (more)...

New Delhi, Jan 28: Hrithik Roshan has said that it is unjust to compare him with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Agneepath'.

Bachchan played the character of Vijay Chauhan in 'Agneepath' almost two decades ago.You can't compare (with Amitabh). If you compare, I will fail in a second. I feel people are not saying that I have done as well (as Bachchan), but I think what they are saying is I have done well in my way and they are cheering for me," Roshan said.

The 38-year-old, who is on cloud nine owing to the incredible response he got for 'Agneepath', could not hide his elation too.

"Wow!!!! Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!.

Remakes definitely have it tough. Not only do they have to go through the usual grind of pleasing the audiences and doing well at the box office, they also have to bear the added burden of comparisons with the original. And in most cases, the huge expectations and comparisons often kill the remake. Agneepath is a remake of the 1990 Yash Johar production – a movie which was a box office failure but went on to become a cult – and there’s no doubt that people are waiting to decide whether this one works better than the original or not. Truly speaking, Agneepath is more of a tribute rather than a remake; it pays homage to the original, it itself states that the cult is difficult to recreate but at the same time urges you to watch it without any pre-notions. I am going to do this movie a favor – I will...

The Amitabh Bachchan starrer blockbuster Agneepath still lingers in the hearts of many. Amitabh's portrayal of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is one of the most celebrated characters of Bollywood films, while Danny Dengzongpa became synonymous with Kancha Cheena. Dharma Productions revisits the film with Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt in the key roles. While Hrithik portrays Vijay, Sanjay takes over the menacing Kancha Cheena. Debutant Karah Malhotra helms the director's baton.

Mumbai, Jan 27: Amitabh Bachchan made Vijay Dinanath Chauhan's character in the 1990 "Agneepath" iconic, but the film didn't do wonders at the box office. Almost two decades later now, Hrithik Roshan, who has reprised the role in its remake that has collected Rs.25 crore on the opening day, says it's unfair to compare the two actors.

"You can't compare (with Amitabh). If you start comparing, I will fail in a second. I feel people are not saying that I have done as well (as Bachchan), but I think what they are saying is I have done well in my way and they are cheering for me," said Hrithik, who is receiving rave reviews for.

New Delhi, Jan 27: The magic of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan seems to have worked once again. Karan Johar's "Agneepath" has had a record opening day collection minting Rs.25 crore on the first day and surpassing the collections of recent blockbusters like "Bodyguard" and "Ra.One".

While Salman Khan's "Bodyguard" earned Rs.22 crore, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's mega-budget "Ra.One" made Rs.18 crore on the opening day. But the Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt-starrer remake of the 1990 film of the same name, which released Thursday, has gone beyond.

Hrithik, who stepped into the shoes of megastar Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay, is excited that.

Seems that a remake of a classic once again can take the box office by storm. Agneepath, which is a new telling of the classic Amitabh Bachchan starrer is well on its way to be an iconic film itself and it has only been in the theater for one day. The Karan Malhotra directed Agneepath, starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra had absoultely incredible opening day numbers. The film has already raked in approximately over 20 crore! If at the end of the day that number indeed ends up to be true or, as it is looking to be, even higher it will be the biggest opening day ever.

Audiences are so loving this film in India that at every showing we hear there are whistles, claps and screams and more! At a theater fans actually were putting garlands on the posters and hoardings.

Critically it is...

It’s a huge risk remaking a film like Agneepath, which (we believe) is one of the toughest Amitabh Bachchan films to remake. Apart from Bachchan’s performance as the iconic Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, the Agneepath of the 90s was a box-office failure. Producer Yash Johar who had put his heart and soul into making the original, was heart broken when the film failed commercially.

Decades later, his son Karan Johar Read More...

New Delhi, Jan 25: The star cast of 'Agneepath' including Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra were seen promoting their upcoming movie in Gurgaon on Monday.

While addressing the press conference, Hrithik, denied claims that he is emulating Amitabh Bachchan's portrayal of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the film.

"If you are going to enter the theatre to compare me with him (Amitabh Bachchan), I am going to lose in probably the first five seconds, because first of all I am not as tall. But it was refreshing for me to hear a subject that could have been interpreted like this as this Vijay (character name) is in deep.

Agneepath arrives tomorrow and while the world is waiting to catch Hrithik Roshan step into the shoes of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, there are some hectic times ahead for producer Karan Johar. Reason? His Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu closely follows Agneepath and is separated by only a fortnight."Yes, 2011 was a gap year for our production house since there was no release but 2012 would be packed year," says Karan, "I am not worried though since these two m...

Sanjay Dutt attended the screening with wife Maanyata Dutt, the main protagonist of the film Hrithik Roshan arrives for the screening of his much-awaited film.

New Delhi, Jan 24: Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is back! The character, made popular by megastar Amitabh Bachchan in 1990 film "Agneepath", is making a comeback on the big screen, albeit in a new avatar with Bollywood hearthrob Hrithik Roshan.

The 1990 film, directed by Mukul Anand, was produced by Karan Johar's father Yash. Though the film didn't work at the box-office, it won the best actor national award for Amitabh.

Twelve years later, Johar came up with the idea of remaking the film by setting it in the modern day scenario, with debutant Karan Malhotra taking the mammoth task of directing it.

Set in a small Indian village of Mandawa,.
