Curiosità

Manthiri Kumari is a 1950 Indian Tamil-language historical fiction film directed by Ellis R. Dungan, starring M. G. Ramachandran, M. N. Nambiar, Madhuri Devi and G. Sakunthala. The screenplay was written by M. Karunanidhi based on his play of the same name, itself inspired by an incident from the Tamil epic Kundalakesi. This was the last Tamil film directed by Dungan and is considered to be among the most successful films of that decade. Shortly after directing this film, Dungan left the Tamil film industry.

Production

Manthiri Kumari is an adaptation of a play by M. Karunanidhi, which was itself based on an incident from the Tamil epic poem Kundalakesi. After producing Ponmudi (1950), directed by Ellis R. Dungan, producer T. R. Sundaram of Modern Theatres hired Dungan to direct the film adaptation; the credits ultimately list both men as co-directors.

For the lead role, they cast M. G. Ramachandran. Although he had played supporting characters in many of Dungan's earlier films, Ramachandran had recently achieved success as a leading man in Rajakumaari (1947) and Marudhanaattu Ilavarasi (1950).
