Heroes who turned baddies on screen with ease and aced the roles

Hyderabad: Many Tollywood actors who have done a great job as heroes on the big screen have turned into villains and aced the roles. Take a look at Megastar Chiranjeevi. He first became a villain and then a hero. Also, Mohan Babu, Gopichand, and Srikanth fall under the same category. But there are very few heroes who do strange things despite being star heroes. Here is our list of such actors:

Rana Daggubati

Rana Daggubati is the first name that comes to mind when we think of actors who excelled as a hero but still became popular for playing dark roles. We all know the sensation he created with ā€˜Baahubali.ā€™ Rana, who hails from the Daggubati family, played the role of a villain in the film and received praise for his performance. He has played many such roles.

Jagapathi Babu

Jagapathi Babu is one of the most sought-after actors down south when it comes to playing roles with negative shades. He started his second innings as a villain with Balakrishnaā€™s ā€˜Legendā€™ and since then, he has not looked back.

Srikanth

Like Jagapathi Babu, Srikanth has acted in many family films, but he has also impressed everyone by playing a villain in Balakrishnaā€™s ā€˜Akhanda.ā€™ The actor is looking forward to many such roles now and is still playing a positive lad on screen.

Fahad Faasil

Malayalam actor Fahad Faasil played the antagonist in ā€˜Pushpaā€™ directed by Sukumar. He is a known face to the Telugu audiences after playing the role of Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in Allu Arjunā€™s ā€˜Pushpa.ā€™ Moreover, it can be said that because of him, there are good expectations for the second part.

Suriya Sivakumar

Suriya appeared as a villain in Kamal Haasanā€™s ā€˜Vikramā€™ which released recently and created a sensation. There are many actors in the film but everyone was impressed with that one scene that shows Suriya as the villain. Many are now eagerly waiting for the sequel because of Suriya.

Vijay Sethupathi

There is no doubt that Vijay Sethupathiā€™s character in ā€˜Uppenaā€™ is one of the most powerful villains in Telugu cinema. Till then, we had seen him in Tamil cinema. Apart from that, he has given a terrific performance in ā€˜Vikramā€™ as well. Every scene with him was the highlight of the movie.
