Unfortunately, heroism has dug it's feet deeply into the Tamil cinefield and it's now an expected feature. What Tamil cinema needs is more 'main' characters; not necessarily heroes, heroines, etc. I find flawed, ordinary charcaters refreshing to watch. And I think Kamal and Rajini have great scope and talent to take on such roles.

I knowww .... Maybe they could do what Sean Connery and other senior Hollywood stars do !! Is that the kind of MEATY roles yo're talkin abt ?? I mean, total heroism, but not explicit though !!!

Yeah. Not explicit. Kamal's character in Kuruthipoonal is an example- flawed. I even think Virumaandi can be categorised as a flawed main character. Rajini in 6 to 60 was a classic, and both his characters in Nettrikan. Or even larger than life characters. Despite my criticism of Chandramukhi, I though Rajini pulled of the Raaja role pretty well.
