Rajinikanth
in
Netrikan
Prior
to
Netrikan,
Rajinikanth
had
found
success
as
an
action
hero
through
movies
like
Murattu
Kalai,
Thee,
Kazhugu
etc.,
in
Netrikan
he
took
up
the
role
of
an
aged
businessman
who
is
a
womanizer
with
pervert
thoughts
and
actions.
You
do
need
courage
to
take
up
such
a
role
in
the
midst
of
delivering
successful
movies.
Kamal
Haasan
in
Many
Movies
Honestly,
it
is
impossible
to
pick
one
movie
of
Kamal
Haasan
in
this
particular
category
for
he
is
known
for
his
experiments
and
off
beat
characters.
He
is
one
star
who
started
his
career
with
unique
roles,
stuck
on
to
such
roles
throughout
his
career
and
will
keep
doing
the
same(not
quite
the
same)
in
the
future
as
well.
Ajith
in
Vaali
And
Mankatha
Ajith
is
another
actor
who
has
experimented
with
his
roles
quite
often.
Be
it
his
sadistic
villainous
character
in
Vaali,
the
physically
challenged
role
in
Villain,
the
dancer
with
effeminate
qualities
in
Varalaaru
or
the
money
minded
baddie
in
Mankatha,
all
these
roles
were
portrayed
by
Ajith
when
he
had
already
found
his
success
mantra.
Vikram
in
Sethu,
Kasi,
Pithamagan
and
Deiva
Thirumagal
Arguably,
Vikram
has
been
the
bravest
actor
of
them
all
simply
because
of
the
fact
that
he
had
struggled
a
lot
until
he
was
seen
as
an
action
hero
in
Dhill.
What
does
he
do
after
the
success
of
Dhill?
He
chooses
to
act
in
Kasi,
enough
said.
Sarathkumar
in
Kanchana
After
making
a
name
for
himself
as
the
hunk
of
Kollywood,
Sarathkumar
was
bold
enough
to
portray
the
role
of
a
transgender
in
Kanchana.
Not
sure
if
any
one
else,
after
attaining
Sarathkumar's
stature,
would've
tried
a
similar
role.
Arya
in
Naan
Kadavul
Arya
did
not
have
any
prominent
dialogues,
duet
songs
in
foreign
locations
or
any
other
commercial
elements
to
show
off
in
Naan
Kadavul.
In
fact,
he
did
not
even
have
much
of
a
screen
space
in
the
movie
but
yet
he
managed
to
impress
one
and
all
with
his
completely
out
of
the
box
script
and
character
selection.
Dhanush
in
Pudhupettai,
Aadukalam
and
3
Dhanush
too
have
made
some
brilliant
script
selection
that
allowed
him
to
explore
himself
as
an
actor.
Thanks
to
his
experiments,
he
is
on
the
verge
of
becoming
a
National
hero.
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
Soodhu
Kavvum
It
needs
some
courage
to
portray
yourself
as
an
aged
man
while
still
trying
to
find
your
feet
in
the
Tamil
film
industry.
Ironically,
this
very
courageous
nature
of
his
earned
him
a
permanent
place
in
Kollywood.
Jiiva
in
Kattradhu
Thamizh
Jiiva
too
has
experimented
with
his
roles
to
an
extent
and
the
movie
Kattradhu
Thamizh
stands
out.
His
ability
to
pull
off
such
an
off-beat
role
at
such
a
young
age
is
praise
worthy.
Surya
in
Nandha,
Perazhagan
and
Masss
And
last
but
certainly
not
the
least
in
this
list
is
Suriya.
As
mentioned
earlier,
his
choice
to
go
with
a
horror
comedy
after
having
established
himself
as
one
of
top
Kollywood
heroes
is
a
welcome
sign.
