Wonder is, no matter how bulkier NT became, he was still romancing, dueting and fighting off villains! The fans accepted him in any form; thin, fat, ugly, clumsy, doesn't matter. Those expressive eyes were enough to captivate the audience. He acted in more than 300 movies and probably the producers faced with a challenge in selecting new heroines from time to time. Almost all the actresses in his lifespan, acted with him. He suited with everybody, but as far as the screen chemistry is concerned, I would say; Sivaji - Padmini first, then Sivaji - Vanisree.
