Curiosidades

Harishchandra is a 1932 Tamil mythological film directed by Raja Chandrasekhar and Sarvottam Badami for Sagar Movietone. T.C. Vadivelu Naicker is another name cited as an earlier co-director. The film was the third Tamil talkie produced. The first Tamil talkie was Kalidas (1931), produced by Imperial Movietone and directed by H. M. Reddy. The second Tamil sound film was Galava Rishi, produced by Sagar Movietone and directed by Sarvottam Badami. The cast included Nungambakkam Janaki and Rukmini.

Production

According to Bhaskaran, Harishchandra was made in twenty-one days and hence important elements like continuity were lost in the rush of filming. The film was less than half completed when the original director who has been cited either as a German, or Naicker himself, ceased working on the film. Badami then a young man of nineteen years stepped in to complete the film.
