Baddies love the bald look!
Everytime a bald Voldemort makes an appearance on screen in any of the Harry Potter series, he sends shivers down the audience’s spine.
His bald pate somehow, laid emphasis on his evilness. In Bollywood too, the hero gets to sport a thick head of hair, while there have been many bald villains, who managed to make the audience quiver in their seats.
Sanjay Dutt: In the remake of Agneepath, Sanjay Dutt will be seen in a bald avatar as the evil Kancha Cheena.

According to the buzz, Sanjay’s bald look was initially meant to be done with makeup. But when that didn’t work, the actor had to actually shave his head to get the right look.
Kulbhushan Kharbanda: Everytime Shakaal, played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda in Shaan, moved his hand across his bald pate, it was enough to make the audience fret over what his next evil move would be. The sharks swimming in the huge aquarium behind his back, did nothing to curb the tension.
Anupam Kher: The ‘thappad ki goonj’ that Anupam Kher promised Dilip Kumar in Karma, was something that even the audeince could not get out of their minds for long. As the bald Dr Dang with his beard reaching his head, Anupam Kher was evil personified.
Amrish Puri: For his role in the Hollywood film Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, Amrish Puri shaved off his hair to get in the character of Mola Ram, the leader of an evil cult who battles with Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones. Puri liked the look so much, that he kept it on.
