The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[groucho070]

App absolutely fantastic posts. Brings back my own memories of enjoying IR/SPB stuff those days.

1. MGR quit acting after becoming CM in 1977. Though he threatened to return to films after the loss in parliament elections, he couldn't do it as the people were so scared of his return and they voted him back to power in the assembly elections

2. Sivaji continued to patronise TMS, even neglecting IR for a couple of years. Possibly with an eye to promoting Prabhu, he went back to IR in veLLai rOjA and MV started singing for him, alas the lone supporter of TMS too got tired of him.

There were quite a number of films NT did, no? Deepam, Thyagam, Pattakatti Bairavan, Kavarimaan, etc. Or do you mean his house production? Then, possible he was using MSV until then.
