Early life [ edit ]
He was born in 1917 in an orthodox brahmin family in Nanjangud of Mysore district.[4]
He started his career at the age of eight when he joined the Gubbi Veeranna theatre group.[5] Radha Ramana Mahakavi Kalidasa Sodhari , Hemavati , Hari Bhaktha and Bedara Kannapa Kannada actors, Dr. Rajkumar and Narasimha Raju in the movie Bedara Kannappa. Though Raj Kumar had acted in a single scene in a movie previously, the movie Bedara Kannappa where Mr Iyer cast him as the hero, is where he got his break and is regarded generally as his first movie. Iyer also produced the critically acclaimed movie Vamsha Vriksha . Based on an acclaimed novel by S L Bhairappa , it was jointly directed by B V Karanth and Girish Karnad .
He soon started directing his own movies. The movie Hamsageethe (music by Dr. Balamuralikrishna , B. V. Karanth and T.G. Lingappa) was well received and made him famous. Iyer wrote scripts, lyrics and produced and directed many commercial Kannada movies. Iyer's biggest effort was Ranadheera Kanteerava
In his younger days, he was committed to Gandhi and his ideals. He stopped wearing footwear from the day Gandhi died and never wore them again. He also wore hand-spun clothes colloquially called "Khadi" as was advocated by Gandhi.
He was proficient in both Kannada and Sanskrit and was soon to make the first movie in Sanskrit, about the famous philosopher Adi Shankaracharya National Film Awards for Best Film , Best Screenplay , Best Cinematography and Audiography . It is believed that the movie made a great impact on Iyer.
He later made a film on Madhvacharya in Kannada and Ramanujacharya in Tamil. He also made a remarkable Sanskrit movie Bhagavad Gita Best Film at the National Film Awards of 1993.[6] Bogotá Film Festival.
He produced Natyarani Shanthala , a historical television series on the Hoysala Jain queen Shanthala, who was married to a Vaishnava King. It was re-made in Hindi as well as in Kannada. It was based on several works by Samethanahalli Rama Rao in Kannada.
He later went on to make a movie Swami Vivekananda Swami Vivekananda , realistically. For this film Mithun Chakraborty won a national award for Best Supporting Actor. Mithun Chakraborty played Shri Ramkrishna Paramhansa. Though it had many famous actors such as Mithun Chakraborty , Hema Malini and Sarvadaman Banerjee , the movie failed commercially.
He was planning a film based on the Hindu epic Ramayana Sanjay Dutt playing the role of Ravana , before his sudden death on 21 December 2003 at the age of 87. His last rites took place at his Bharadhwaja Ashrama, near Dodda Aladamara, on the outskirts of Bangalore, near Kengeri .[1] [7]
