Cinematic Exaggeration
Often the director needs dramatic transformation for exaggerated effect
Wisam as effeminate, possibly gay man transforming into a ruthless killer was a major impact on the audience
Otherwise the transformation needs major BGM
Or a very dramatic build up lasting several scenes
In all the cases, the AUDIENCES expected a definite X Factor , none of them believing Kamal, Rajini or Ajith were meek humble people
So ITS EVEN MORE IMPERATIVE TO JOLT THEM WITH A MAJOR SCENE
It's like “We know you guys know what's coming but WE WILL PACK A MAJOR PUNCH”
Character Transformation is a very key areas and very few have hit 100% with Minimal effects
Kevin Spacey is the Gold Standard in Usual Suspects
Pankaj Kapoor excelled at this in DUS
Yet they were both Character Actors so they had the advantage of Audience confusion
A Major actor , with many fans playing effeminate or mild character would obviously mean
- Goonda Past
- Some X Factor coming up
So you have to PACK A PUNCH HARD , and that's why Kamal played effeminate
He risked it something Ajith , Rajini wouldn't do (Only Vikram might risk such a move)
