After dabbling with 'naughty' and 'nice' characters, Akshay played the creep with a vengeance in Abbas-Mustan's Ajnabee.

Inspired by Hollywood's Consenting Adults, the thriller wasn't so much about wife-swapping than a whodunit.

Misbehaving on screen sure has its perks -- it fetched Akki his first Filmfare trophy for Best Villain.
