Some actors are so good that we question whether or not they have magical talents. Take, for example, Vijay Razz, Manoj Bajpayee, and Pankaj Tripathi. Our minds are blown when we see them on TV portraying such disparate personas. “Are they shape-shifters or actors?” we ponder as we watch them. “Do you want to do both?”
Vijay Razz is an actor who has been playing supporting roles in Indian films for a long time. Razz has come a long way despite not having had any official instruction from the National School of Drama or any other prestigious institution.
We’ve compiled a list of roles that illustrate Vijay Razz is a shape-shifter in order to honour his incredible contribution to Indian cinema.
1. Monsoon Wedding
Vijay Raaz had a little role in the film, but his character was significant. He has feelings for a Christian girl who works as a wedding coordinator. His multifaceted persona was just one of the many elements that kept the audience engrossed in the storey.
2. Run
It is one of Vijay Raaz’s most well-known roles. Choti Ganga and Kauwa Biryani are two of his most well-known characters. Despite the fact that the picture was not a comedy, his role added a sense of humour to it.
3. Deewane Huye Paagal
The film was hilarious, and Vijay Raaz’s role was the icing on the cake. He played Akshay Kumar’s best friend, who made the audience laugh every time he appeared on film.
4. Dhamaal
Imagine meeting someone like Vijay Raaz from the emergency services in Dhamaal! The actor managed to leave the audience gasping for air while laughing during his 15-minute role. The plane didn’t land properly, but the plot did.
5. Welcome
Another brief yet important duty. Vijay Raaz portrayed a rent-a-fake-movie-director who became enamoured with his persona. He manages to sabotage the one and only duty that Akshay Kumar had entrusted to him.
6. Delhi Belly
While I’m writing this, that diamond scenario is playing in the back of my head. Don Somyajulu, a diamond smuggler by trade, was played by Vijay Raaz in the film. Even his rage was comical, and the audience laughed out loud.
7. Patakha
In Pataakha, the actor played a widower father of two daughters in a small, melancholy role. Despite his reputation for comedic parts, he nailed the character of a hapless parent with ease and conviction.
8. Stree
It was only one of Vijay Raaz’s many minor roles. The actor had a brief appearance in the film as the author of the novel O Stree Kal Aana. His role in the film culminates in him speaking in a misogynist manner, yet his candour made even that seem amusing.
9. Gully Boy
Vijay Raaz’s character in Gully Boy was one of the most despised for the right reasons. He portrayed Ranveer Singh’s (Murad) father, who remarries a young girl for financial gain and utterly ignores his previous wife (Murad’s mother). However, as Murad becomes a well-known rapper, his character undergoes a transformation.
10. No Problem
Vijay Raaz played an out-of-the-box character in this light-hearted comedy who attempts suicide multiple times only to fail. His character continued to cause havoc for everyone around him despite failing to commit suicide.
11. Soorma
In Soorma, Vijay Raaz played Sandeep Singh’s hockey coach. While Diljit Dosanjh’s role was the focus of the film, one of Raaz’s sentences was welcomed with applause at theatres. “Tamancha kacche mein rakh lo babua, Bihari hain hum, thook ke matha mein chedd kar denge,” it went like this.
12. Made in Heaven
Though it wasn’t a film, but Vijay Raaz played one of the most significant roles in the series. He was seen as a loan shark who invested money in small businesses. Even after Jim Sarbh’s intimidation, he remains unintimidated and says, “do chaar English ke shab bolne se aap ache vyapari nahi ban jate.”
