Information about the film:
Also, he entrusted the responsibility of writing the screenplay to three including Kannadasan. PS Ranga shot the film simultaneously in both Tamil and Telugu languages. Sivaji Ganesan played Thenali Raman in Tamil and Agniyeni Nageswara Rao in Telugu. ND Rama Rao as Krishnadevaraya in both languages, Nambiar as Rajaguru in Tamil and Mukamala Krishnamurthy in Telugu. Banumathi and Jamuna played the heroines. MS Viswanathan – Ramamurthy composed music for the film.
Nicknamed Kannadasan:
21 songs, small and big, were featured in the film. Most of the songs were written by Kannadasan. Both of Atmanathan’s songs were used in the film. A lyricist named Tamil Mannan also wrote a song with them. The Tamil King is none other than Kannadasan. Because, at that time he was active in DMK. Even if they are leaders, if they talk about religion, they will criticize and make them sweat.
Reason for nicknaming the policy:
He wrote a song in the movie Denali Raman, ‘All those who are looking for fun will one day not say anything to Allah..’ At that time, he wrote the athika song from The Mu Kavil under the pseudonym Tamil Mannan, avoiding his own name as he would be criticized if it came out under his name. Later he moved away from DMK and went to various parties, eventually seeking spirituality and criticizing atheism. But there has also been an incident where Kannadasan wrote a song under a pseudonym because he was initially afraid of politics. Then the movie Denali Raman was released in Telugu as Denali Ramakrishna and in Tamil as Denali Raman.
