We recently saw Vijay Sethupathi ace the role of a transgender in Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Super Deluxe and it is not the first time we have seen such a role in Tamil Cinema.

Some of these characters are light-hearted and funny such as Kamal Haasan in Avvai Shanmughi or most recently Sivakarthikeyan in Remo.
