Raja Rishi Tamil -language Hindu mythological film directed by K. Shankar and produced by N. Sakunthala. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan , Prabhu , M. N. Nambiar and Nalini . It is based on the play Viswamithran by A. S. Prakasam , which is about the sage Vishvamitra .[1] [2] [3]
The film narrates the story of Vishwamitra in a linear manner right from him being the King, his run-in with Vashista over Kamadenu cow leading him to take a vow that he too would become a brahmarishi like Vashista. He faces hurdle after hurdle placed in his path by Devendran . In the process, he falls in love, impregnates and abandons Menaka . Their daughter Shakuntala is brought up by another rishi. She falls in love with Dushyanta who is cursed to forget her by Durvasa . When Vishwamitra finds out about this, he goes on to fix her life and in the process learns humility. In the end, with the blessing of Vashista . who mentions that that was the only thing stopping Vishwamitra from becoming Brahmarishi , he is acknowledged and accredited as one.
