5 Actors Who Will Be Fighting For The Best Actor Award If Padmavati Releases In 2018

The year of 2018 has some great films in store for the audiences as both content and commercial films of big stars will hit the theatres and will fight it out in their respective fields. We will be seeing stars like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor in films like Dutt Biopic, Thugs of Hindostan and the untitled film by Anand L Rai.

Also, Akshay Kumar has 4 films slated to release in 2018 and given the track record of his recent films, all of his films have become big hits and have gone on to become some of the most profitable films of the year. All of these films and performances by the actors in these films have already piqued the audience's curiosity for these films and as we know that all of these actors put in a lot of effort and hard work for their roles, it's going to be very difficult for the juries at the award ceremonies to decide on the best actor award. 

Due to controversies, Padmavati will not release on its scheduled date of 1st December and will now release some time in 2018. This means that Ranvir Singh's performance as the menacing Alauddin Khilji will also be considered for the best actor award and that means the competition for the best actor award would be intense. Here are 5 actors who will be fighting for the best actor award if Padmavati releases in 2018:

Ranveer Singh- The actor will appear as the ruthless Turk ruler Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati. By the looks of the trailer, Ranveer has aced the role and imbibes the character of Khilji pretty well. His performance would be hard to beat.

Shah Rukh Khan- The actor will appear as a dwarf in upcoming Anand L Rai directorial that also features Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles. The film is touted to be one of the most technically advanced films in Bollywood as well as SRK's performance as a dwarf is a major highlight. He's already a winner of 8 Filmfare Awards for the best actor, it'll be interesting to see his performance.

Ranbir Kapoor- The actor will appear as Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's directorial. Rajkumar Hirani is one of the best and most successful directors in Bollywood. All of his films have received critical acclaim, won many awards and have gone on to become some of the highest earners of the year. It'll be interesting to see Ranbir's performance.

Aamir Khan- He will appear in Vijay Krishna Acharya's upcoming action-adventure film Thugs of Hindostan. We all know how much effort Aamir Khan puts into his characters and his performance will be hard to beat.

Akshay Kumar- He will appear in 4 films next year and his performances in Mogul, Padman, and Gold would be interesting to watch. He has improved a lot as an actor and it will be difficult for the jury to zero in on one particular performance.
