Production [ edit ]
Baghdad Thirudan was financed by Krishnaswamy Naidu, the former owner of Golden Studios. A single set in the film cost ₹ 30,000₹ 2.7 million or US$32,000 in 2023), yet M. G. Ramachandran always wanted new sets. By this type of over-expenditure, it was believed that the film would ultimately cost ₹ 500,000₹ 45 million or US$540,000 in 2023). Ramachandran demanded that an additional ₹ 200,000₹ 18 million or US$220,000 in 2023) be spent to complete the film, much to Naidu's horror.[2] Baghdad Thirudan was also the only film that featured Ramachandran opposite Vyjayanthimala .[3] [4] S. N. Lakshmi had to fight a leopard in one scene without the use of a stunt double .[5] [6] [7]
