Tamil superstar Rajinikanth who is fondly referred to as Thalaiva by his fans talked about three villains in his life. During the audio release event of Kaala yesterday, the Tamil superstar said that these people mean a lot to the actor as they played a crucial role in the actor's life. Yes! But don't jump the gun yet because Rajini is not referring to any kind of enmity in real life. He means villains he fights on screen.

Do you remember his movies Baasha and Narasimha (Padaiyappa in Tamil)? These are some of the highest grossing movies in Rajini's career which also helped the actor garner global fame. His first villain was Raghuvaran, who played an antagonist in Baasha. This film set records in the Tamil and Telugu industry and also made the actor into a demigod among the masses.

His second villian was Ramya Krishnan. The duo acted together in the movie Narasimha featuring actress Soundarya as female lead. It not only garnered fame to the actor but also for the actress. Ramya Krishna as Neelambari is still remembered by the audience for her negative character in the movie which left a great impact on the audience.

The third villain is yet to be noticed since the character has not been unveiled. He/she will be from the actor's upcoming movie Kaala. It is learnt that Bollywood actor Nana Patekar is going to be the next powerful villain in Rajini's life. Nana Patekar has been roped in to play an antagonist in Kaala, which is slated for release on June 7.

Rajinikanth has joined hands with Kabali director Pa Ranjith for this movie, which is being produced by Rajini's son-in-law and actor Dhanush.
