Masks
have been used since antiquity for a variety of purposes
– disguise, entertainment and performance. Needless
to say there is something enigmatic and alluring about
a man who hides his real self with a mask for whatever
purpose. Jiiva has gotten us hooked onto his masked
look in Mugamoodi as he is totally rocking in his
new avatar as superhero. In his honor, let us take
a look at the masked men in Tamil cinema starting
with Jiiva himself who is arguably the coolest of
them all. |
