My Take
Anandaraj deserves the kind of recognition villains rarely get. With over three hundred films across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, this Pondicherry-born actor mastered the hardest job in cinema: making audiences truly despise him so the hero can shine. A convincing antagonist is the engine of any drama, and his ability to also pivot into comedy reveals real range. I have a soft spot for character actors who command a scene the moment they appear, and Anandaraj's sheer screen presence makes him one of South Indian cinema's quietly indispensable craftsmen.
