I have heard of ego spats between NT and KB (who even managed to work with Gemini G) - more knowledgeable ppl can elaborate…
NT wearing bell bottom pants with a waist belt almost half a feet wide, funny looking sunglasses, and a horrific wig - all of this during the late 70s. romancing around with Sri Devi, Ambika chechhi - it was a testimony to the patience levels of ppl around that time…K Balaji remakes had NT in most of them - NT playing the Amjad Khan role in 'viduthalai' remake of Qurbani - was an absolute low-point in his acting career - even hardcore NT fans were left embarrassed!
Mudhal Mariyadhai and Thevar Magan were true tributes to the talent of NT..
Padikkathavan in which NT plays the eldest brother of Rajini - did some justice, and later on K Bhagyaraj in Thaavani Kanavugal tried to infuse some more justice - but thats about it…
NT never had a film like 'Nayagan' and apparently even he lamented that fact to Kamal around that time along the lines of "Nayagan madhiri oru padam kathai engalukkellaam kittavey illai"….
I briefly mentioned Mani Ratnam but deleted it - but here it is, since you brought his name - MR had/has his limitations big time - he cannot venture out of the urban middle-class/upper middle-class mould, one liner filled dramas - every time he did that - with the exceptions of the unique 'Iruvar' or 'kannathil muthamittal' to some extent, most of his films have been montages of eye candy frames…….I don't think he had it in him to come up with anything to exploit NT's talent…unless you expected NT to do a 'raja rajah' dance with bell bottoms in Egmore railway station (ninaichaaley vayiru kalangudhu)
If there was someone who could have properly used NT, it was Mahendran, maybe Mysskin/Nassar of present days….
With due respect to the NT, I have seen many of his BW films (thanks to my parents), most of his 70's were indeed a mokkais, Me being "SPB" fan, used to love the song "kaalam Maaralam nam kadhal maaruma" , I have never seen the visual till around 8 years ago, I was horrified on seeing the visuals ..
