Anaivrukkum iniya puthaandu vanakkangal ....
Mr. Mohan ram.... thank you very much for sharing with us about Thanga padhakkam stage play in Mumbai . I am thrilled to read the great memory power of NT !
I have also seen NT playing the role of Shivaji and saying lengthy dialogues...
Another scene which probably will be the lengthiest .... NT playing a character with Raja sulochana and the dialogues penned by Kalaignar ... I dont remember the movie....
In one programme, Shivakumar narrated the entire dialogue right in front of NT and Kaliagnar !
Dear Murali Srivinas...
hats off to you ..... for the splendid memories and word by word presentation......

Now it has become fashinable in Tamil cinema to talk about "Getup change", different makeups and the "sacrifices" being made for some characters that they portray. With virtually all latest makeup kits available now at the click of a mouse, it has become child's play.Compare this situation when NT was around doing varied roles in 60's and 70's. He has to do it with whatever was available at that time.
In Navarathri, for the " Kushtarogi" role, once he had donned the make up (his hands and legs were all a part of the make up), he couldn't move around freely. If he removes the make up then it will be double the pain of again redoing the same. So APN planned it in such a way that the entire portion of that role was shot in one go.NT as usual came early morning to Saradha Studio and stayed there for 40 hours, without even going home.Since he could not use his hands(why hands even his mouth),he was given liquid food and that thro' straw. He slept in the studio that night because of the makeup and he a chain smoker those days couldn't even have a puff and only on the second day, they prepared a pipe like thing at the end of which a cigarrete was placed and lighted.
In the same way in Tiruvarutselvar, when he played Appar,he took a lot of pain to resemble Appar(NT took inspiration from Kanchi Sankracharya Chandrasekara Saraswathy's appearence) and when the makeup was finished literally his chin and cheeks were aching just for showing the Mugasurukkam. Especially in the climax when he literally crawls in Kailasa, his entire body was under severe pain which he didn't show till the shot was okayed.
But the makeup that takes the cake is Deiva Magan. It is said that for him to have that scar, they used all kinds of materials and if memory serves me right,I remember Aroordoss(the dialogue writer) in an interview having said that even small glass pieces were used to stick. More than the doing,it was removal that was painful.Infact when it was removed, at times blood was seen gushing out of NT's face. Even this would have been ok if NT was doing only the father and first son role, but he had to don the second son's role also for which his face should have a masu maruvatra look. See how he managed all these things beautifully.
Even in his earlier films when he had to do historical, Purana kathapathirangal, the pain he took for bringing in 100% perfection is unmatched even today. Even for a shot that hardly will appear for a minute in the screen, he took great care. In Gouravam, for Neeyum Naanuma song ( the song sequence beautifully presented in this thread by S.Balaji) he appeared as King George and as a Lietunant and he sat with the costume designer and showed him the old portraits of British Kings to bring authenticity to the dress. It was a fabulous job done by the costumer. In order to recogonise his work, NT took the still photographs of that role, laminated and framed it and hung it in his bedroom at "Annai Illam".
But the greatest thing about NT was he never flaunted about this publically.Infact he did not even utter a single word about the ordeals he underwent unlike modern day "heroes" who at the slightest pretext will start " Intha padathirkkga 10 kilo kurainchirukken, antha padathirkku 20 kilo koootinen, verum juice mattum sappiten, exercise panninen etc---" and will want us to believe that they have done somthing extraordinary.Why NT didn't utter a word? Mahendran(Thangapathakkam) comes out with an answer that NT thought that getup change,make up, all are part of the job. On his(NT's) own words " Eppo kathayai kettu padathil nadikiren-inu othukondu kai neeti kaasu vangaromo, appave ithalem athil adangidum. Antha character-kku enna thevaiyo athai cheyya vendiyathu antha nadiganoda kadamai." elaborating this he asked Mahendran" Ippo nee kathai vasanam ezutharae. Naan veetai vittu poi room pottu rathri thoongama sappadai maranthu ezhuthinen-inu solluviya?" NT made it look like simply as a part of the occupation (occupational hazard?).
Even here when everything is done for publicity, he was different.

PS: It is a beautiful irony that NT who strove every nerve for makeup and related things looked equally attractive even when he came sans makeup in Nengirukkum Varai and Moondru Deivangal.
