Vidyut Jammwal’s villain role earns praise
Apart from Sivakarthikeyan, audiences have been impressed with Vidyut Jammwal’s performance as the main antagonist. His intense screen presence and brutal action scenes have drawn wide praise, proving his ability to play a powerful villain. Jammwal also took to Instagram recently, sharing stories about how he has often felt ‘underutilised’ in Bollywood and Indian cinema. His strong role in ‘Madharasi’ may well change that perception.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
