Who Is The Best Tamil Actor of 2012? Vote
The year 2012 has been a mixed year for the Tamil film industry. Especially, for the A-list actors except Vijay, the year was a nightmare as their top-budget films tanked at the Box Office.
Dhanush's much-hyped 3, Ajith Kumar's Billa 2 and Vikram's Thaandavam failed to impress the audience. But low-budget films with good content changed the usual perception of filmmakers by doing good business.
The surprise winner of the year is Sudeep starrer Naan Ee, Vijay Sethupathi's Pizza and Vijay Anthony's Naan. However, Surya's Maatrraan, though did not do the expected business, managed to do decent collection. Jeeva's Mugamoodi also followed the footsteps of the Surya starrer film.
However, Surya, Vikram and Jeeva won accolades for doing experimental roles in their respective films like Maattrraan, Thaandavam and Mugamoodi. Well, now we are giving our readers an opportunity to choose the best Tamil actors of 2012. Follow the slideshow to see the list and the poll is in the last slide.
Dhanush - 3
Dhanush was seen in the role of happy-go-lucky guy in the first half and a psychopathic man in the later part. His performance was praised from all quarters in the film directed by his wife Aishwarya. Shruti Hassan was paired up with him in the film.
Jeeva - Mugamoodi
Jeeva's role of a superhero in Mugamoodi earned him a good name. In fact, the film directed by Mysskin brought the best out of him. He had romanced newcomer Pooja Hegde in the film.
Vishnu - Neerparavai
Vishnu's Neerparavai is one of the surprise hits of 2012. The film directed by Seenu Ramasamy and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin won a lot of praise for its lead star Vishnu.
Vijay Antony - Naan
Music director Vijay Antony turned hero in Jeeva Shankar's Naan. The film provided a perfect stage to showcase his acting abilities.
Sudeep – Naan Ee
One actor who become a popular star in South India is Kannada superstar Sudeep. His acting in Naan Ee made him a star overnight.
Surya – Maattrraan
Surya's roles of conjoined twins in KV Anand's Maattrraan proved once again that he is a good actor. Like his earlier experimental roles, his hard work and dedication for his characters were praised.
Vikram – Thaandavam
Vikram's role of a blind, who uses echolocation to detect objects in his environment, in Thaandavam was brilliant. The film, which bombed at the Box Office, saw him pairing up again with Anushka Shetty.
Vijay – Nanban/Thuppakki
Vijay had a great year with his two films - Nanban and Thuppakki - doing wonders at Box Office. The actor was seen in the role of a college student, who often comes to the rescue of his friends in the Shankar's film, and as an army officer and spy in the AR Murugadoss' movie. Both his roles impressed audience and won thumbs up from his critics.
Sasikumar – Sundarpandian
