Very few people know that Rajinikanth worked as a villain in his early career, but then his acting and style made him a lead hero. He played a negative role in the 1975 Tamil film ‘Apoorva Raagangal’, which was very short, but then he played the role of a villain in 1977’s ‘Aadu Puli Attam’ and many films of the 70s and 80s.
