Curiosità

Uthama Puthiran is a 1958 Indian Tamil-language historical action film directed by T. Prakash Rao. Co-produced by C. V. Sridhar, who also wrote the screenplay, the film stars Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini, with M. K. Radha, M. N. Nambiar, K. A. Thangavelu, Ragini and Kannamba in supporting roles. It revolves around twins who are separated at birth; one grows up to be a valiant warrior, and the other a tyrannical dictator.

Production

After the success of Amara Deepam (1956), director T. Prakash Rao and co-writer C. V. Sridhar wanted their next film to be on a grander scale. Rao decided on the folk tale of Valli, and he and Sridhar approached Sivaji Ganesan to star. Ganesan refused, saying another producer was adapting the story (as Sri Valli) and paid him an advance to star in it.

The remake's screenplay was written by Sridhar, who co-produced the film with his partners S. Krishnamoorthy and T. Govindarajan under the banner Venus Pictures. It is the first film to feature Ganesan in dual roles. Sridhar initially wanted K. Ramnoth to direct this film, but he said he agreed to direct the same subject with M. G. Ramachandran in lead role, he was replaced by Prakash Rao.

The song "Kaathiruppan Kamalakannan", is picturised on Padmini and her sister Ragini's characters performing a Bharatham dance. "Yaaradi Nee Mohini", the first rock and roll dance song in Tamil cinema, is picturised on Hindi cinema dancer Helen. Ganesan, being trained in classical Indian dance, did not have any difficulty in learning or performing his dance moves.
