Sitting on the throne, donning shades of grey and black, with kohl-lined eyes, long hair and a menacing expression- Saif Ali Khan makes a convincing villain. However, his manner of wielding the sword quickly reminded fans of another handsome man, who appears almost every time sporting a solemn expression- Jon Snow.
