Interesting facts

Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu is a 1980 Indian satirical drama film written and directed by K. Balachander. It was simultaneously shot in Tamil and Telugu, with the latter version titled Aakali Rajyam. The film stars Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, with Pratap Pothen, R. Dilip and S. Ve. Shekher in supporting roles. It revolves around a group of three men in Delhi struggling with poverty and unemployment.

Production

Pratap Pothen was cast in the role of an eccentric director "with an unhealthy obsession for an actress." He also revealed that director K. Balachander insisted that he dub in his own voice. S. Ve. Shekher who debuted in Balachander's Ninaithale Inikkum (1979) and newcomer R. Dilip were cast in the role of Kamal Haasan's roommates. Bharani, a poster designer for Balachander's films, joined the film as a mute artist at Balachander's request.
