They bash bad guys on the big screen; they perform dangerous stunts that seem next to impossible to do in reality, they deliver iconic dialogues that you probably start using them in real life, they make you laugh, they make you cry, they show you how to love and dance their hearts out on peppy dance numbers and what not. Well, who are they? They are ‘heroes’! Our very own filmi heroes who leave no stone unturned when it comes to our entertainment.
