7 Tamil Films Which Had The Hero Also Play The Baddie

Chiyaan Vikram is one of the most promising actors in the Kollywood industry. His ‘IruMugan’ has already generated enough hype before release and is obviously going to be a big treat for fans.

We have to wait for few more days to know more on his characters.

Suriya in his recent outing '24' played triple roles which had two brothers, the protagonist and the antagonist and another young role. The film was based on time travel and his negative role Athreya was a phenomenal success which was well received by fans and audience alike.

Thalaivar makes a style mark in each and every movie of his which will later be followed as trends by fans. His ‘Enthiran’ is not an exception. ‘Chitti’ the robot was a popular characterisation made by Shankar which was portrayed in both the good and the bad way. The evil robot which destroyed the entire city in the climax was something amazing even though it was dragged a little bit.

Illayathalapathy for the first time played dual roles in 'Azhagiya Tamil Magan' where he was shown as hero as well as baddie and he played both the roles effortlessly.The plot revolves around Prasad (bad Vijay) who takes the place of Guru Moorthy (good Vijay) and how manipulates situation to marry Shreya (heroine).

His ‘Aalavandhan’ was an extraordinary film which won the National Award for Best Special Effects.

‘Vaali’ was a milestone in Ajith’s career where he played both hero and villain. His amazing performance as Deva and Shiva won him the Best Actor award from Cinema Express and Dinakaran Cinema Awards. Thala has portrayed himself as hero and baddie in two more films, ‘Attahasam’ and ‘Varalaru’ but they did not do that well commercially like ‘Vaali’.
