Kartik Aryan's recently released psychological thriller 'Freddy' showed the actor in the never before seen avatar of Dr Freddy Ginwala, a dentist haunted by his horrific past. The film's plot revolves around a thrilling story, where the line between love and obsession is blurred.


Vicky Kaushal in 'Govinda Naam Mera'


'Govinda Naam Mera', a murder mystery drama directed by Shashank Khaitan featured Vicky breaking the mould of only doing serious roles as he was seen in a comedic role in this full Bollywood masala entertaining movie. 


Hrithik Roshan in 'Vikram Vedha'


With 'Vikram Vedha', Hrithik Roshan once again proved that he cannot be typecast into urban roles alone and that he can pick up dialects and demeanours as and when the character demands.


Ranbir Kapoor in 'Shamshera'


Ranbir Kapoor's comeback vehicle 'Shamshera' might have been a dismal performer commercially, but it was the first time that the actor was seen in a full-blown Bollywood period drama. It was produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films and directed by Karan Malhotra.
