Trivia
Ashok Kumar (1941) was a major box-office hit directed by Raja Chandrasekhar, starring M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and Chittor V. Nagaiah. Udumalai Narayanakavi wrote colloquial, catchy lyrics for the film's lighter tracks, which helped popularize casual spoken Tamil phrasing in early Tamil cinema music.
