As Mukkamala Krishna Murthy could not speak Tamil, Director H. M. Reddy appointed Sivaji Ganesan as a dubbing artiste. Sivaji Ganesan was a stage actor and not much known at that time.[4]

Edited by M.S. Parthasarathy.[3] Kona Prabhakara Rao has subsequently entered politics and rose to the level of minister and Governor in India.
