Raja Saab Villain Gains Buzz After Animal, Dhurandhar Villains Trend

Lately, villains have been doing more damage than heroes, in a good way. Animal gave Bobby Deol a surprise second wind, and suddenly everyone was talking about him again. Then Dhurandhar arrived, and Akshaye Khanna’s controlled, chilling performance went viral almost overnight. With that trend picking up speed, attention has now shifted to the next big villain people are curious about.

That brings us to Sanjay Dutt from The Raja Saab. Even before the film is out, there’s already talk around his role. It’s not being described as a typical loud antagonist. Instead, word is that his character sits at the centre of the story, quietly pushing things forward. That alone has made fans pause and take notice.

What adds more intrigue is the age factor. Sanjay Dutt is said to be playing an older man, a role that leans more on emotion and backstory than brute force. It sounds layered, a part where presence matters more than volume. And that’s something Sanjay Dutt has always been good at, especially when the writing supports him.

Early chatter suggests that The Raja Saab is largely driven by his character’s journey. That has only lifted expectations. After seeing what Animal and Dhurandhar did for their villains, people are hopeful this could be another turning point. Will it be a full-on comeback moment for Sanjay Dutt? Too early to say.
