Mammootty once said in an interview that he was not born to be an actor. I am partial to a ‘trial and error’ method. I became an actor after trying. His acting career for so many years proves that. He is an actor who is not afraid of roles. Any role is safe in those hands. (Mammootty Villain Roles)
Mammootty has done many roles that any other superstar would hesitate to do for fear of affecting his stardom. What sets Mammootty apart from other superstars is playing memorable antagonist roles. On the occasion of the legendary actor’s birthday, let’s take a look at some of the roles he played and rocked…

Mammootty’s villainous character in Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s ‘Vidheyan’ is what comes to everyone’s mind when Mammootty is considered as an antagonist. Mammootty Bhaskara plays a violent and tyrannical mistress in the film. It was Mammootty’s villainous character that scared the audience. Apart from Mammootty, MR Gopakumar, Babu Namboothiri, Tanvi Azmi, Ravi Vallathol and others played important roles in the film.

Another fact is that one can never forget Ahmed Haji, the most hated villain in Ranjith’s ‘Paleri Manikyam’, which no one else but Mammootty could have played to perfection. From the mannerisms, Ahmed Haji looks similar to Mammootty’s character in ‘Vidheyan’, but with his little mannerisms, Mammootty has managed to create a distinct look for both the characters. Ahmed Haji is one of the best villain roles played by Mammootty.

Mammootty’s character with a negative shade in ‘Puzhu’ will not be something the audience can forget. The actor has to be highly commended for portraying such a racist character on-screen, which may seem simple compared to the other antagonists he has played. Mammootty played a character like this when his stardom was literally at its peak. ‘Puzhu’ was the directorial debut of Ratina PT and the drama film also featured actors Parvathy Thiruvoth, Appunni Shashi and Nedumudi Venu in lead roles.
Warning
Although Mammootty turns villain towards the end of the psychological drama film ‘Munnariyip’, throughout the film the actor gives a very skeptical view of the character which confuses the audience. The specialty of the film is that Mammootty also presented his antagonist performance very simply. The film was directed by Veni Iskan.
