They repress this desire to protect their image and to not disappoint fans cannot see them in negative characters. Villainous characters give large scope for the actors to perform rather than in hero\u2019s roles which have limited scope. Even veteran actors like NTR and SVR excelled in negative characters such as \u2018Duryodhana\u2019 and \u2018Ravana\u2019. Now young actors who are not scared of experimenting with their image are showing their love for grey characters. Let\u2019s see which actors are playing menacing villains in the upcoming films.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vijay Sethupathi in \u2018Uppena\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vijay Sethupathi is one of the finest actors that Tamil cinema has ever produced. He is known for his versatility and ease of playing different roles. He is playing the villain\u2019s role in \u2018Uppena\u2019 under the direction of Buchibabu Sana. \u2018Uppena\u2019 marks the debut of Megastar\u2019s nephew Vaishnav Tej.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchu Manoj turns villain for NTR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Young Tiger NTR and Trivikram are teaming up for the second time. Their first outing \u2018Aravinda Sameta\u2019 turned out to be a blockbuster. This film\u2019s speculated title \u2018Ayinanu Poyiravale Hastinaku\u2019 has garnered lot of interest. Rumours are abuzz that Manchu Manoj will play the antagonist\u2019s role in this film. Trivikram is said to have designed his character with comic shades.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nara Rohith\u2019s stint as villain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nara Rohith debuted with the critically acclaimed \u2018Baanam\u2019. His performance in it gained accolades and industry recognition. After Baanam, he went on to star in films like \u2018Pratinidhi\u2019, \u2018Rowdy Fellow\u2019, \u2018Asura\u2019, \u2018Appatlo Okadundevadu\u2019 and many more. Even though his performance was well received in these movies, success lent a deaf ear to him. This led to a decline in his career followed by a brief hiatus. Now Sukumar has offered him the villain\u2019s role in \u2018Pushpa\u2019 which Rohith gleefully accepted. Vijay Sethupathi was earlier considered for this role, but had to back off due to his prior commitments which turned out to be a blessing for Nara Rohith. Sukumar who is known for designing emotionally driven characters is said to be presenting Nara Rohith in a never-before manner in \u2018Pushpa\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will say if these hero turned villains will enjoy success or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every star hero has a fetish to play villain at least once in his career.
