First Steps in Film Industry
Circumstances pushed KSG to the city of Madras where he was graciously accepted as a Lyric composer by the Tamil Film Industry. He was blessed and encouraged by great men like “’Kalaivanar N.S.Krishnan and Udumalai Narayana Kavirayar.”’Later he joined as an Assistant of Film Director “’Shri Sridar”’ and has worked for several successful pictures. Within this short period, as a shrewd observer, he grasped all the modes and technicalities of film making. His first story for which he also wrote the screenplay and dialogue was “’“DEIVAPIRAVI””’ produced by M/S. Kamal Brothers, not only proved to be a great success but also acquired a special certificate of merit from Govt. of India.

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”

“The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
