7 Flop Bollywood Actors Who Came Back To Movies As Villains

A number of actors and actresses from Bollywood often take a sabbatical to focus on their personal lives or to concentrate on other projects or other aspects of their lives. For some actors, it's a welcome break while for a few actors it is good time to recharge themselves before they again go into the world of films. Bollywood produces a record number of films every year and a majority of these films flop at the box-office. Such a large number of films also mean that the stars appearing in those films also go unnoticed.

The industry employs a huge number of actors and every actor we see a number of newcomers debuting in films. While some become big names in the industry, a few others fade into the oblivion. There have been actors who made their debut in Bollywood a while back as leads but couldn't find success in their solo outings. Some of them took a break, others appeared in TV serials while some of them went into other fields of filmmaking and later when they came back to Bollywood, they appeared as villainous characters. Here are 7 such actors:

Arbaaz Khan: His films as a lead continue to flop at the box-office and he had limited his screen roles to focus on production and direction. He came back to the big screen in a full-fledged villainous role in Kapil Sharma's Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon.
