MG Ramachandran : MGR has made a film a hit with a photograph.
When MGR was acting in films, it is needless to say how much all the films released with his acting were hits. Just like the films he acted in became hits, even if the scenes of his films are featured in other films, those films also become hits.
To that extent, MGR had a fan base at that time. That’s how once MGR’s photo appeared in the opening scene of a film and that film became a super hit. Producer Nambirajan, who was close to MGR, was making a small budget film called Kunguma Putin.
For the reason that the film should get a good reception, the producer kept the song Kungumapottin Mangalam, which had both MGR and Jayalalitha acting together. It also became a big promotion for the film at that time.
The producer went to see MGR in person to make this film. After watching the film, he said that the film is good and tied the producer and took a photo. He asked to take this photo and put it in the beginning of the film. As soon as he said that, the producer also posted the photo. All MGR fans celebrated the film when his photo was placed. The film also became a super hit.
