Looks can never matter in a great role, does it?
An actor changing his look for his film shows a great deal of commitment. In Hollywood, we have actors like Daniel Day-Lewis, Christian Bale who are nothing sort of a human chameleon by changing their appearances for each movie. In India, we have Aamir Khan, Kamal Haasan, Vikram, who make sure that every film of theirs has a different appearance and look from the actor. And sometimes, they go all the way to not even look appealing! Let’s look at 5 good-looking actors in Kollywood who turned the opposite for their roles!
Vikram – Pithamagan, I
Vikram is know to give so much commitment to his films and roles, that he only does a film in a couple of years to maintain his look. While he donned several looks in films like Anniyan, Sethu, Rajapattai, Deiva Thirumagal, the handsome actor looked really the opposite of handsome in his national award role in Pitamaghan…
…as well as his recent role of a pockmarked hunch-back in the blockbuster I.
Kamal Haasan – Guna
When Kamal Haasan announces a film, his fans eagerly wait as to what look he will adopt! After all, he is the man who took on ten appearances in Dasavtharam, where he played a century-old Brahmin lady as well a giant Pathan! But, per my eyes, he looks the least affable look-wise inGuna, a tragic love story, that as a Kamal fan , you must never miss! Kanmani Anbodu Kaathalan Naan Ezhuthum Kadithamae…
Sarathkumar – Kanchana
One of the most masculine heroes of Kollywood, Sarathkumar, shocked everyone in Raghavendra Lawrence’s horror comedy Kanchana with his role of an eunuch. Not to mention, it was his finest performance ever…
Suriya Sivakumar – Mayavi
There was a time when Suriya used to actually experiment with his roles, before he turned pakkacommercial with the likes of the Singham series and Massu. In his under-appreciated comedy,Maayavi, he plays a not-so-great looking youth who kidnaps actress Jyothika (playing a fictional version of herself), to settle settle a silly grudge.
Arya – Naan Kadavul
Arya is one of the most rugged heroes in the next generation in Kollywood. The actor had played some critically acclaimed roles in the past, prominent among which, is his role of an ascetic inNaan Kadavul. Wonder where the handsome actor has gone in all those hair, soot and beard…
