Top Kollywood Actors Who Have Done Negative Roles!

A prominent actor like Kamal Haasan has even said in the past that he would love to play a role which has lots of negativity, if asked to do so by any his directors. He went on to say that, a hero always has restrictions, but a villain can do whatever he feels like.
