Rajinikanth says would like to play a transgender

Superstar Rajinikanth on Monday said he would like to play the role of a transgender on screen.

The actor, who was in the city to launch the trailer of his next film "Darbar", was asked a genre he would like to explore.

"Actually I've explored all! It has been 45 years, 160 films... So everything has been covered," the actor told reporters.

When asked, if there's still a genre or a role he would want to be cast in, the actor said, "A transgender."
Asked what took him so long to play a cop again on screen, Rajinikanth said, "I like to do easy-going, happy-go-lucky character. A cop is a serious character, chasing criminal. So I used to avoid. But Murugadoss came with a fantastic subject... This is not an ordinary routine cop character. He has extracted a different work from me."
