New Delhi: They might not be the central focus of the film, but actors who play the supporting roles in films provide a backbone to the story. Most of the time, the lead characters hog the limelight but these actors still manage to turn heads with their striking, 'hatke' performances.
And the winner of the IBN Live Movie Award for Best Supporting Actor is Prithviraj for 'Aurangzeb'.
Silent, restrained characters have become Prithviraj's alter egos. The Malayalam superstar made his Bollywood debut with Rani Mukherjee's 'Aiyyaa' and then showed a very different aspect of his self in 'Aurangzeb'. His character was not all white or all black, but an interesting shade of grey, where he played a Gurgaon cop who has to choose between the truth, and responsibilities that he has towards his family.
Prithviraj was pitted against Nawazuddin Siddiqui (for 'The Lunchbox'), Saqib Saleem (for 'Bombay Talkies'), Zeeshan Ayub (for 'Raanjhanaa') and Varun Sharma (for 'Fukrey').
While 52 per cent audience voted for Prithviraj, Siddiqui came a close second with just over 30 per cent votes. Saleem, Ayub and Sharma got 2, 12 and 4 per cent votes respectively.
