With Anjaan releasing in a few weeks, we'll see Suriya as a dreaded underworld ganster of Mumbai. He however isnt the first tamil cross-over villian. Here is a closer look at the 5 Tamil-speaking-deadly gansters of the Mumbai underworld.

1. Kamal Hassan - Nayagan (1987):

Based on the real life story of Varadaraja Mudaliar, the movie earned Kamal Hassan appreciation, a national award  and a cult status yet to fade!

2. Rajinikanth - Baashha (1995): 

  Enough said. 

3. Ajith - Jana (2004):

This movie was Ajith's turn to have a go at being a Mumbai ganster. Sadly for him, it didn't quite work as the film was a commericial failure.

 4. Vijay - Thalaiva (2013):

Though the film met with several problems during its release, it managed to garner good reviews later. 

5. Suriya - Anjaan (2014):

Suriya is the latest entry to this hot-seat. With expectations around the movie sky-rocketing, we only hope his performance lives up to those of his predecessors.
