The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[Sureshs65]

I think the reason for Sivaji's bell bottoms and wigs must have been the fact that this was a Telugu movie remake. Those days bell bottoms and fancy wigs for people like Satyanarayana, Tyagaraju and other villains was the order of the day. The hero's also wore such ridiculous costumes while the parents wore dhotis and 'kadhar' jibbas. IIRC, the Telugu original was a Krishnam Raju movie titled 'Kathula Ratiah'.
