A villain plays a very crucial part of a story. Any story is incomplete without a villain. They are actors in South Indian Film Industry who got recognition only after portraying a role with grey shades on screen. They dared to do what others didn’t do before them. A combination of charisma and mystique often makes for a good bad guy, and it helps to have a certain look. These South Indian actors have successfully played the antagonist on more than one occasion. Playing an anti-hero role is the toughest things to play in movies.
