The role: He has a history of violence. Beneath that cool exterior and friendly demeanour lies a sharp, scheming mind, for which crime is just a way of life. Test him with fire, though, and he'll turn insane.

The impact: His superb portrayal of the pyrophobic (afraid of fire) ganglord in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's acclaimed drama fetched him a National Award trophy.

Parinda, till date is considered one of Nana's finest performances.
