Tamil Industry has always been male-dominant in terms of scripts and story narration!!
However, times have changed now with actresses like Nayanthara, Jyothika, Tamannaah Bhatia, Anushka Shetty, Trisha etc demanding equal importance if not more, when compared to the leading men in films!!
The boost with regards to female-oriented subjects in Tamil Cinema came after a few small-budget films were super successes.
This year will be huge for these leading women of the Tamil circuit as they will be coming up with films which show them in all elements of the game, including the action sequences.
For Jyothika, films like 36 Vayadhinile, Magalir Mattum, Naachiyaar was the first step towards hitting big with female-oriented projects. In Naachiyaar, people will remember Jyothika as the hard-hitting police officer equal to any other leading man.
Nayanthara has been huge in portraying characters which are totally unique and different. Films like Dora, Ash, Kolai etc are big female-oriented subjects that she has been part of.
Trisha has been in the industry for more than 19 years now. Her films Mohini, Garjanai, 1818 etc are female subjects with much acclaim.
Tamannaah Bhatia the Baahubali queen is another gem in the circuit of Tamil industry who looks at equally challenging subjects.
