10 significant characters of Pasupathy, other than Sarpatta Parambarai's Rangan Vaathiyar 

With his performance in Sarpatta Parambarai as Rangan Vaathiyar being widely appreciated, we look at 10 characters played by Pasupathy, through which he wooed the audience 

Team CE
Despite working in close to a dozen films before Virumaandi (2004), the Kamal Haasan starrer was the one that got the limelight on Pasupathy who played the deceitful Kothala Thevar
Thirupaachi (2005) didn't star Pasupathy as the principal antagonist, but his dialogue delivery and mannerisms as Pattasu Balu makes it a fan favourite character
One of Pasupathy's most underrated performances is in Kamal's Mumbai Xpress (2005) in which he played Chidambaram, the head of an amateur kidnapping gang who is incapacitated because of a horse bite
While Mumbai Xpress was a dark comedy, it took Majaa (2005) for us to see Pasupathy in an out-and-out comedy role. His dry humour along with Vadivelu's slapstick comedy made the best parts of the film
In Veyyil (2006), Pasupathy brought soul into the character of Murugesan, a man who has lost it all and will do anything to just be accepted back by his kith and kin
His role as Balu in Kuselan (2008), an honest, righteous but poor barber whose life goes for a toss when a childhood friend turned superstar comes to his town for a shoot, is another underrated gem
Aravaan (2012) showed us Pasupathy in a never-before-seen avatar. Sporting a chiselled physique, the film starred him as Komboodhi, the leader of a tribal gang from the 18th century
Another fan-favourite role of Pasupathy is the Annachi from Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara (2013). The deadpan humour he delivers as the local bigwig along with Vijay Sethupathi is a blast
As a man who'd do anything for his family, Pasupathy aced the subtle but pivotal role of Murugesan in Asuran (2019). Otthukuda mansu illenaalum adhaan nesam!
Pasupathy made his entry into the world of OTT with a bang in Tamannaah's November Story (2021) in which he played Kulandhai Yesu, a doctor with a dark secret
