The trend is strong with Kollywood these days because there aren’t many actors who are willing to play the villain. With veterans like Nasser and Prakash Raj opting to do character roles, there is a sudden dearth for negative roles which is now being filled by some unique choices.

Not just some random villains but almost all of them are extremely handsome and are more hero-like than ever. Arvind Swamy is an easy pick who did a massively good job in Thani Oruvan and now waiting for Sathuranga Vettai 2’s launch. Fast on heels is Vidyut Jamal in Thuppaki and now we have Tovino Thomas. A perfect hero he is, it is great to see the Malayalam actor opting to play the villain in Dhanush’s Maari 2.

Tovino also plays the hero in Wunderbar films Tharangam. We also have SJ Suryah who was the hero in multiple movies but has turned into a villain for Vijay’s Mersal and Mahesh Babu’s Spyder. The trend seems to be working out well going by the super hit films released so far and the promising ones set for release soon.
