14. MADHAVAN
Madhavan turned in a rocking performance with Vettai that had the fans begging for more. A nagging knee injury forced the actor to take the rest of the year off as he sought treatment for it. He has been working hard on himself before returning to the big screen and the effort has paid off. The actor now boasts a fine physique and his cuteness quotient is at an all time high. Now if only he would take up a few more Tamil films, his devoted fans will have no cause for complaint.
