When the crime drama series Dexter premiered in 2006, it quickly gained a loyal fan base worldwide. Michael C. Hall, who plays the titular serial killer Dexter Morgan, has performed well. The show comes after a forensic radiator analyst who secretly lives in alert serial killers targeting criminals who escape justice. He will reprise the role of the upcoming sequel, Dexter: Resurrection.
With the rise of many Indian OTT platforms, it is easy to imagine Dexter being remake for Indian audiences. But if this does happen, which actor is suitable for multi-layered and morally complex roles? We think these five talented Bollywood actors can pin everything a serial killer’s character with code.
1. VijayVarma
Vijay Varma first caught the attention in Amitabh Bachchan’s court drama Pink. He further impressed the audience in the serious performances of Gully Boy, Dear and Mirzapur. But it is his dark and meticulous portrayal of Dahaad’s serial killer, which leads us to think of him as a powerful contender for the complex antihero in the Indian version of Dexter.
2. Vikrant Messi
Vikrant Massey proved his acting abilities in several films, such as Gunj, Haseen Dillruba’s death and the twelfth failure. But his frightening portrayal of the cold-blooded killer in District 36 makes us imagine he is the best choice for Dexter serial killer.
3. Babil Khan
Babil Khan is a promising young actor who made an impressive debut with Qala before performing well in railway staff and write-offs. With his blood performance, a complex character like Dexter may be a great opportunity for him to prove himself one of the most talented actors of his generation.
4. Adarsh Gourav
From his early roles in Rukh and Mom to his recent work in Reema Kagti’s Malegaon Superboy, Adarsh Gourav has been showing off his versatility. But it was his outstanding performance as a cunning servant of the White Tiger, and it did prove that he had depth and strength to play a dark and layered role like Dexter.
5. The harsh Varrdhan Kapoor
Harshvardhan Kapoor seemed like an unexpected choice at first, but his dark performance in The Gritty Thriller Thar reveals his true underestimation. The intense screen performance and on-screen chemistry he shares with Anil Kapoor in the film make us imagine real-life father-son duo as a fit couple playing Dexter Morgan and his adopted father, Harry Morgan.
