The proverbial Shahenshah of Bollywood is gearing to give movie lovers a taste of his villainy.

"Aks" marked the beginning of Big B's transition into negative roles and some of his coming films like Vipul Shah-Gaurang Doshi's "All The Best" and Sanjay Gupta's "Kaante" will consolidate his image in villainous roles.

For instance, in All The Best Big B plays a Bank manager who is wrongly accused of embezzling money and is fired from his job. To avenge the wrong done to him the manager (Big B) plans to rob the bank.

Sanjay Gupta's Kaante is a rehash of Hollywood potboiler Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and has Big B playing a dreaded criminal who along with his five companions (played by Sunil Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar, Lucky Ali and Kumar Gaurav) breaks into a bank. But things go awry after differences crop up among the robbers and they ultimately end up taking each other's lives.

Industry insiders believe that this new avatar of Big B will go down well with the movie aficionados.
