There was a time when you had the least empathy or admiration for a villain in a movie and your favoritism was for the hero. While the support still stands, the baddies have slowly emerged from that image and are creating a new glamorous and impressive appeal.
It all started with Mukesh Rishi who redefined villainy in Tollywood and he continues to do that with his versatile performances. Then came the chiseled hunk Sonu Sood who also got into some roles with comedy shade. Now, few more impressive names have joined the camp.
Former Mr India Anoop Singh Thakur, the handsome Arvind Swamy have become hot properties in Tollywood with their style and performances. They will now be joined with the Tamil actor/director S J Suryah who will be seen as the villain in superstar Mahesh Babu’s film. This is giving a new elevation to Tollywood.
