2012 Tamil Cinema : Notable Villains of Kollywood

2012 – Best Villain

The distinguishing line between a ‘Hero’ and ‘Villain’ is diminishing in Tamil films. It is because more films are plot-driven and not hero-driven, which is a healthy sign.
Also, more movies leaned towards comedy and love in order to safely get "U" certificate (for entertainment tax waiver). As a result, action movie with strong villains were hard to find in 2012. But, we did see a few powerful villainous acts which brought out the best from the heroes.

1.Sudeep (Naan Ee)


Sudeep (Naan Ee)
Sudeep in Naan Ee did an outstanding job and easily the ‘Best Villain’ of 2012. He had to act with a non-existing house fly as it would have been added only in the post-production stage. He portrayed varied villainy, fear and lust so effortlessly. Sudeep also dubbed in his own voice.

2. Vijay Antony (Naan)

Mithun Murali excelled in his negative role as a school student. He looked very real as a rich spoilt teenage person. He looked very confident on screen. Thanks to Balaji Shakthivel who extracted exactly what he wanted from this newcomer.
