Rajkumar played leadroles in many genres like family drama,historical, mythology, folk myth, action movie, ‘Bondish’entertainment and the lot. He was indeed a phenomenon inKannada and Indian cinema.

‘Bedara Kannappa’ was remade in Telugu as ‘KalahasthiMahatmyam’ 1954) and in Hindi as ‘Shiv Bhaktha’ (1954). Inthe Telugu version, Rajkumar played the tribal hunterand Pandari Bai was replaced by a noted actress of Telugu andTamil cinema, K. Malathi, who made a name in the Telugu filmsof the famed filmmakers B. N. Reddi and K. V. Reddi, like‘Sumangali’, ‘Pathala Bhairavi’ and ’Gunasundari Katha’. Shealso acted in lead roles in Tamil films like ‘Rajakumari’and ’Ratnakumar’. Later she acted in elderly roles. Afterretirement she lived in Hyderabad where she met with a tragicend when the old building she lived in collapsed, killing her.

Meiyappan introduced a new and box-office element in theTelugu version. The dancer Padmini, by a now an actress-star,was cast as a traditional temple dancer, and she performedexcellent dance numbers. These sequences were a bonus tomoviegoers.

The Hindi version ‘Shiv Bhaktha’ (1954) had Padmini play-ing the same role and this was her debut in Hindi. The film wasalso the first Hindi mythological of AVM Studios. Pandari Baiwas the female lead under her own name.

Later Meiyappan dubbed his Tamil and Telugu films intoHindi, like ‘Bhakthi Mahima’ (1960) (original in Telugu) and‘Bhaktha Prahalada’ (1967) (original in Tamil and Telugu).

The tribal hero in ‘Shiv Bhaktha’ was the well known Marathiand Hindi film star Sahu Modak who played many mythologi-cal roles as Lord Krishna and folk myth saints. The film wasdirected by H. L. N. Simha and the AVM Studios editor K.Shankar also worked with him, and the two were jointlycredited with direction.

In 1956 Meiyappan took the step in another direction whenhe produced a Sinhalese film ‘Doctor’ (1956) with the popularCeylon (now Sri Lanka) star couple Eddie Jayamanne and thestunningly beautiful actress Rukmini Devi. K. Shankar di-rected the film.

During those years the motion picture industry in the islandcountry was not well developed and most Sinhala movies were produced in South Indian studios with Indiantechnicians. Such films were made in Madras, Salem andCoimbatore. An enterprising Sri Lankan film person, S. M.Nayagam, even built a studio in the outskirts of the famedtemple town Madurai named ’Chitrakala Movietone’ but it didnot last long. When conditions and filmmaking facilities in SriLankan capital Colombo improved, many technicians fromMadras went to Sri Lanka where they worked for some yearsin Sinhalese movies. Such technicians included S. V.Venkataraman (film laboratorian and father of the latter-daydrama and movie star S. V. Sekhar), M.Masthan (cinematographer and director) and A. B. Raj (direc-tor).

With the AVM movie enterprise expanding its wings,Meiyappan formed more than one unit which could makefilms simultaeously and independently, all under his supervi-sion, like Hollywood moguls. No film ever left his studio unlesshe saw and approved its every frame. He watched the ‘rushes’of the films many times, each time with a different purpose andreason: To view how the sets had been exploited; To view thecostumes and such, and judge their appropriateness withrespect to the milieu, ambiance, and also aesthetic values andvisual appeal. India being a hot and humid country and Ma-dras being more so, one sweats much, especially in the closedatmosphere of a studio floor. So, ugly unsightly wet patchesappear in the costumes under the arms of artistes - a sightwhich Meiyappan disliked most, especially in actresses! Hewould insist that such shots to be re-shot. In AVM Studios itwas the practice to have many sets of blouses and othercostumes to avoid such wet patches. (As they say, Madras hasthree kinds of weather - hot, hotter and the hottest!).

A song sequence featuring actorSuriya shot on busy RanganathanStreet in T. Nagar recently caughthundreds of shoppers, street hawk-ers and shopkeepers by pleasantsurprise.

They spontaneously joined himto dance to the music played throughspeakers.

It was a sequence planned andexecuted by Director Murugadossfor the actor’s next big film ‘7uamArivu’.

On how he managed to do so,Murugadoss said that it took a lotof planning and practice. The crew,including Suriya and 700 dancers,rehearsed for three days in AVMStudio.

On the day before the actualshoot, the Director and his teamwent to the street well past mid-night and placed cameras in sixlocations.

“We wanted the whole sequenceto be natural. We wanted to cap-ture the genuine reaction of sur-prised shoppers and vendors. Wecould not afford to make anymistake because there was no ques-tion of a second take,” Murugadosssaid.

Another interesting elementabout this sequence, which is the‘introduction song’ in the film, isthat the 700 dancers included somesenior artistes who have made a re-entry into the field after a break ofover 10-15 years.

“As more and more young danc-ers enter the field, the senior artistsretire from active performance infilms. We thought it would be niceto include many of them in thissong. It was an enjoyable experi-ence for all of us,” the Directorsaid.

With the equipment being placedin advance and the techniciansassembling quietly, the whole shootwas completed in about 10 min-utes.

The film, being produced byUdhayanidhi Stalin’s Red GiantMovies, is said to have many suchlittle surprises. “We are most likelyto complete the filming by the endof this month. Post-productionand computer graphics work willbe taken up after that,” Murugadosssaid. Report: courtesy The Hindu
