Who will be the competitive actor for Raghuvaran in this generation for a villain role?

 

Raghuvaran was a fantastic character actor who sadly became stereotyped as a Villian for most of his career and later as a Supporting Actor

Think of him as a more talented version of Mohnish Behl in Bollywood

Why he was such a good villain was because of his LOW VOICE that was far more menacing than the usual bunch of bad guys who yelled, screamed or gave caricature like expressions like Nambiar or Senthamarai

Once he was typecast, he was rarely given a lead role unless it was a non commercial film

He rarely acted for the paycheck. He had a prosperous textile business in Kovai area or at least his family did.

So we need someone who is

• Good Looking
• Menacing
• Low voiced and not a caricature buffoon comedian like Radharavi or Ponnambalam or Manivannan
• Can actually have the audience impress upon him like Mark Anthony or Neelambari

Fahad Fazil is one name i can think of

Maybe more popular than Raghuvaran

Yet if Raghuvaran wasn't stereotyped and if he had made wiser choices, he would have been where Fahad is today

Irrfan Khan is another

Can blend in as an effortless silent menacing villain

Tabu can be seen as a female version of Raghuvaran

She can be a menacing bad character like in Drishyam (Not Bad but still..) where she acts far more subtly to Asha Sarath with her wide eyes and a bit of over acting (Though very apt for that role)

Prasanna is the GO TO EQUIVALENT of Raghuvaran in today's industry if you need a subtle villain

In all of South India actually

He is in huge demand because unlike Fahad Or VJS who are reluctant to play bad guy, Prasanna is fine with it

Samuthirakani can play a restrained villian but also plays loud mouthed hammy villains from time to time

He too is equivalent to Raghuvaran, a fine character actor who plays villain from time to time

Luckily not stereotyped

What elements of Suniel Shetty's performance in "Dhadkan" earned him the Filmfare best Villain award, and how does it differ from his other roles?

 In the film Dhadkan which was released in 2000, Suniel Shetty portrayed the role of Dev Chopra, a stubborn with rough and tough attitude. He wants to get back his girl friend Anjali (Shilpa Shetty) even after her marriage with Ram Verma (Akshay Kumar).

To gain Anjali back, Dev collects enough wealth as her father, a wealthy person rejected to give her daughter's hand to him though she wanted to marry him because Dev was a poor person, he doesn't know who is his father and Anjali’s father didn't like his attitude or behaviour also.

Suniel Shetty‘s Dev’s character in Dhadkan was a tough one, he forces Anjali to leave her husband and to come back with him, when she rejects him for the second time he couldn't sustain and he tries to ruin Ram's life.

But when he sees unconditional love of Ram towards Anjali, Dev changes his mind and he accepts to marry his business partner Sheetal Verma (Mahima Choudhary) who loves him very much. Finally the film gets happy ending.

Before the film Dhadkan, Suniel Shetty was usually doing hero roles and supporting roles that too as an action hero he gave good performances in several films like Mohra, Border, Gopi Kishen and Rakshak. In Hera Pheri he did a comedy role but for the first time he did villain role in Dhadkan, it was a new experience for the audience to see Suniel Shetty in that get-up. But he did the role of Dev impressively and effortlessly, he was well suited for that role and he won his first Filmfare Award though he was nominated earlier for Filmfare Best Supporting Actor for the films Dilwale and Border.

After Dhadkan Suniel Shetty portrayed negative roles in several films such as Khel in 2003, Baaz in 2003, Main Hoon Na in 2004, Rudraksh in 2004, No Problem in 2010 and A Gentleman in 2017. But his role in Dhadkan got much popularised and brought him Filmfare Award for Best Villain and this is the only Filmfare Award he won so far.

Suniel Shetty doesn't consider his Dev’s role in Dhadkan is fully a negative role because in the film he is a true lover and he struggles to get back his love at any cost and later compromises for the good of his lover.
