- Amjad Khan for the evil dacoit Gabbar Singh in Sholay (1975)
- Pran (1950s and 1960s) and Prem Chopra (1970s and 1980s) played heavies in many movies.
- Amrish Puri, as well as many other villain roles, portrayed the villainous Mogambo in Mr. India (1987). He was known for the phrase Mogambo khush hua (It makes Mogambo happy).
