With the on-going trend of filmmakers purchasing the right of successful South films like 'Arjun Reddy' and remaking them in Bollywood, makers are even adding a touch of south regions by roping in popular south superstars to play vital roles in their films. With Kiccha Sudeep all set to play the main antagonist in Salman Khan's 'Dabangg 3', we take a glimpse at south actors who played baddies in Bollywood films.
