Rajinikanth
Undoubtedly,
Superstar
Rajinikanth
tops
the
list
for
he
has
done
a
variety
of
roles
within
the
negative
category.
For
an
actor
who
began
his
career
as
a
villain,
his
transformation
into
a
successful
hero
was
a
fairy
tale.
Ajith
Kumar
Though
Ajith
had
already
established
himself
as
a
successful
hero,
he
did
not
hesitate
to
do
negative
characters
wherever
required.
If
his
character
in
Vaali
was
a
trend
setter
at
that
time,
Mankatha,
in
which
he
played
a
corrupt
cop
was
well
handled.
Sathyaraj
He
is
another
actor
who
began
his
career
as
a
villain.
In
his
early
days,
Sathyaraj
was
considered
as
one
of
the
most
terrifying
villain
for
the
portrayal
of
his
roles
in
movies
like
Kaaki
Sattai
and
24
Mani
Neram.
Sarathkumar
As
mentioned
earlier,
Sarathkumar
too
turned
into
a
hero
after
taking
up
a
number
of
characters
with
negative
shades.
His
role
in
the
movie
Pulan
Visaranai
as
a
fearsome
villain
is
still
praised
by
many.
Kamal
Haasan
Many
characters
portrayed
by
Kamal
Haasan
have
had
negativity
to
it.
From
Indian(younger
Kamal)
to
Aalavandhan
to
Dasavathaaram(Christian
Fletcher)
all
these
roles
have
played
with
utmost
precision
by
the
Ulaganayagan.
Vijay
Though
Ilayathalapathy
Vijay
has
not
experimented
too
much,
his
role
in
Azhagiya
Tamil
Magan
as
a
greedy
person
and
womanizer
is
laudable.
Hopefully
Vijay
will
take
up
such
challenging
roles
in
the
near
future.
Silambarasan
Like
Vijay,
Simbu
too
has
not
taken
up
many
negative
roles.
But
his
characterization
and
performance
in
Manmathan
was
good
enough
to
convince
the
audience
that
he
could
carry
a
negative
role
with
ease.
Jeeva
Singam
Puli
saw
Jeeva
in
a
negative
shade
for
the
first
time.
Like
Ajith
in
Vaali
and
Vijay
in
Azhagiya
Tamil
Magan,
Jeeva
too
played
positive
and
a
negative
character
in
the
same
movie
and
also
managed
to
put
up
a
decent
show.
Vikram
Vikram
had
done
a
fantastic
job
in
portraying
negative
shades
in
Raavanan.
His
mere
looks
in
the
film
is
intimidating
enough
to
earn
him
this
spot.
Dhanush
Who
can
forget
Dhanush
as
Kokki
Kumar
in
Pudhupettai?
His
lust
towards
power
and
women
were
displayed
really
well
in
the
movie.
Prasanna
Prasanna
played
a
negative
role
for
the
first
time
in
Anjathe.
But
he
did
not
stop
there.
A
few
years
later
his
skills
to
carry
off
negative
roles
was
apparent
in
Muran.
