Has NT done any full time feminine role ?
Reading the few posts above makes me think of the Maharani role of Prakash Raj in the film Appu. I dont know if NT has already done this kind of role.
How will it be if NT does as a transgender, a pimp, a sharp negative haracter............

Well, he started off playing a girl during stage days, and was at it for a long time.
By the way, forget about NT doing Indian (Shankar), coz he already did that in Naam Pirandha Man with Kamal :P

Ajith acted as an effeminate man (superbly too) in Varalaru. I can think of no other mainstream actor who has done that role.
Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!

Cool, that would have been something. Damn, he should have been born a couple or more of decades later than he actually was!

Now you are talking, my friend. With NT, we saw nothing extraordinary. But Rajini in it, we'd be sitting up and lapping up the good performance, and when NT appears in the middle, we'd stand up and applause. We can easily see this, having had witnessed NT doing a standout guest roles in films like Kaval Deivam or even the dull Cinema Paithiyam as himself.
That's how it was in Hindi with a young Amitabh doing the duets, and young man stuff while Pran did the paisa vasool, middle aged rowdy making a dashing cameo. Sivaji Ganesan in that role would have been rocking. The 'hero' role adds nothing to his career at all

It's about infidelty, with NT taking on the role of a naughty husband. But then it was naughty, as far as I can remember, not notorious like Chakravarthy.
Ok, this is what I meant when I said "sure there are some movies touching upon grey shades but nothin full blown". This is very apposite groucho. He should really have done Chakravarthy

We might probably see notes from this vigilante character (Major Sunderajan, of course, will be the cop :P ) and NT revealed as the murdering Anniyan at the end ala Puthiya Paravai. Of course, that will be the moment when he turns really nasty...and naturally no need make up or long hair, his performance will take care of it.
This is fine, fine cud-chewing groucho - posts like this are what I hoped for when I started the thread!

Crossing the borders, I'd have liked him to do Shatranj Ke Khiladi. A Satyajit Ray movie. I'm sure he'd have fitted it to a T as per Ray's requirements. Mavane, overacting-nu egirravangaLukku ellam oru slap-A irundhirukkum...
A movie like MadhilukaL, Mammootty's role...

I heard NT refused to lend his voice for role of Mufasa in Lion King as it was dubbed in Tamil. I heard he was really angry as some one approached him to lend his voice to equal James Earl Jones voice.
I would have loved to see NT playing the role of Anakin Skywalker/ Darthvader without the usual Tamil Film Sentiments. In my opinion he would have made a very good Darthvader
