Every movie, in fact every story has a hero, heroine and a Villain. Although our heroes gain all the credit for the film, it is fact to consider how ferocious the villains were. A hero is nothing without these powerful villains. Villains occupy a special place in the cinema history. Without these powerful villains, would there be any super heroes? The more cruel the villain is, the more heroism, our heroes display.

This article is all about the great villains who had contributed to the tollywood silver screen from over a decade.

Let’s take a look on the best baddies of this decade.

10) Mahesh Manjrekar as Sona Bhai in Okkadunnadu :

Mahesh Manjrekar played the role of a Sona Bhai, a mafia don in the film. He essayed a role, who is in urgency for a heart transplant of a rare blood group, Bombay blood group. Although he looks simple in the film, his dialogue delivery attracts one and all. Mahesh Manjrekar characterization is equally challenging to Gopichand’s one and he has done his best for his role. He was recently seen in Jr. NTR Adhurs too.

9) Shafi as Azhar in Khadgam:

Khadgam had introduced Shafi in a negative role to the Telugu film industry. The patriotic film has Azhar character in a negative shade that is associated with the evil plans in spreading the terrorism. It was brilliant performance by Shafi who had very few dialogues in the film but performed his actions with his expressions. Shafi was lucky to get a character of Azhar in his debut film itself.

8 ) Dev Gill as Randhir Billa in Magadheera:

Dev Gill who has debuted with this film has played the role of a main antagonist. He proved perfect mainly in ‘past birth role’. His role as Senadhipathi and his lust on Mitravinda (Kajal) and later his battle with Kalabhairava is an excellent episode and his character was one of the highlights. His hyper desire in getting a woman, he liked and even going to an extent of killing his own father for the lady shows his brutal nature in the film.

7) Sarita as Andallu in Arjun:

The one time lead actress has made a come-back with a negative role in the film Arjun. Sarita had played a powerful negative character in the film as Raja’s mother. The actress was shown as an evil minded lady who goes even to the extent of killing people for the sake of retrieving her son from an ‘unwanted marriage’. Saritha had played equally challenging and supporting with Prakash Raj(her husband’s role) in the film.

6) Pradeep Rawat as Bhikshu Yadav in Sye:

Pradeep Rawat has debuted in Telugu film industry with this film and bagged Nandi Award as the best villain for ‘Sye’. What a grand entry in movies it was? He proved as the best baddie of the tollywood with his debut film. Rajamouli has put a lot of effort in creating a grandiose look to him. He played a local dadha who grabs the college land and goes to any extent for the happening of things he wants. Pradeep Rawat proved perfect for the role of Bhikshu Yadav in the film.

5) Prakash Raj as Obul Reddy in Okkadu:

‘Okkadu’ was one of the biggest hits of Prakash Rai’s career. His role as Obul Reddy, a factionist in the movie proves him as the best villain in the film. His hunched look, beady eyes and grunting face symbolized everything that a “villain” should be. The Reddy character is just a cakewalk for Prakash Raj, and his Kurnool accent added spice to his dialogues. He provided good amount of entertainment with his serious acting. The way he says ‘I love you’ to Bhumika is hilarious and at the same time he shows his evilness in killing people. Prakash Raj had really justified to the role. It was after Okkadu where Prakash Raj was flooded with offers.

4) Ajay as Thitla in Vikramarkudu:

The ferocious and powerful role of ‘Thitla’ had given him the life of a big artist. Ajay who was seen in relatively small roles as hero’s friend in many films before Vikramarkudu has proved his mettle with this film. He has made a commendable performance in the film. His costumes, stained teeth and a dubbed over voice gives him a filthy and repugnant image that made him look as a goliath.

3) Gopichand as Devudu in Nijam:

Gopichand although debuted as a hero in Telugu film industry did not get recognition with his debut film, “Tholi Valapu”. Gopichand has received appreciation for his acting with the films like jayam and Nijam. He was shown terrifically in the film Nijam. He received applauses from one and all for his acting skills in Nijam. Without hesitation we can say that Gopichand has given best terrific villain characterization with this movie.

2) Ravi Babu as Govind in Anasuya:

Ravi Babu’s characterization as a Psycho killer is the main highlight of the film. His excellent body language and fantastic performance made the audiences wonder as such a great artiste was lying in him. He played the character of a psychopath killer and the way he kills the victim, takes a random parts of their bodies and leaving a rose next to their body creates us a scary environment. Ravi Babu had given his 100% justification and proved as a best baddie in the role.

1) Sonu Sood as Pasupati in Arundathi:

Although his body is dominated for the soft roles, Sonu Sood is at his best in the film, Arundathi as the villain/ evil spirit. His make-up, his arrogant style, and his dialogues gave him a deadly look as Aghora. He convinced the audience in proving him as a sophisticated scoundrel in taking the revenge on Arundhati in the film. The way he delivers the dialogue ‘Bommaali… ninnu vadalaa … vasta .. vasta’ is extremely good. He used his threatening tone for the chilling effect. He proved as one of the best evildoers on-screen with the film. There is no doubt that Pasupati character is the best baddie of the decade and he even bagged the state’s prestigious Nandi Award for his role in the film.

These are some of the evergreen memorized Tollywood’s reel life villains of this decade who created vibrations among the audience with their distinct characterizations.

The Telugu cinema industry has seen numerous powerful villains who are from our own region in the earlier decades. However, the film-makers are now roping the villains from bollywood for the negative leads these days. Actors like Sonu Sudh, Dev Gill, Pradeep Rawat, Ashish Vidhyarthi, Sayaji Shinde, Shifi, Kelly Dorjee, and Mahesh Manjrekar are all from the Bollywood industry now ruling the tollywood. Telugu Cinema seems to be turning as an importer of villains from bollywood. Is it because audiences are enjoying more to look at handsome villains than the old styled rough and unattractive ones?

Salman Khan’s forthcoming film “Ready” is a romantic comedy, but the director has incorporated some good action sequences so as not to disappoint the popular actor’s fans, revealed T-series honcho and film producer Bhushan Kumar.

“‘Ready’ is a romantic comedy, a fun film, but we incorporated a few action scenes as well so that Salman’s fans can enjoy and watch him do dare-devil stunts on screen,” Kumar said.

“Apart from the action sequences, ‘Ready’ is a complete entertainment package, where we will give special importance to the music, something that is usually not up to the mark in comedy films,” he said.

“Ready”, also starring Asin Thottumkal and Paresh Rawal, is being directed by Anees Bazmee who is known for his hit comic capers “No Entry” and “Singh Is Kingg”.

The film is being shot in Sri Lanka.

Besides this, T-series is producing a film called “Patiala House”, directed by Nikhil Advani and starring Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma.
