Ever since I came to know that Kamal Hassan’s next project is titled Marmayogi, and that it is the title of a 1951 MGR movie, I have been trying to get the old movie. Any amount of search on the Internet has proved abortive. I cannot even find a single song from the movie, let alone the movie’s soundtrack.
My travails have produced only very limited information – that it was the first Tamil movie to bear an A-certificate; that it was not MGR who essayed the title role, but that it was Serukalathun Sama (whom I have hitherto not heard of – it seems he played Kambar in the 1937 version of Ambigapathy, in which MKT played the lead – I haven’t seen this movie either); that Marmayogi was a king; that MGR played Karikalan; and that Pandharibai and Anjali Devi were also in the cast.
I invite readers to share more details about the 1951 movie – storyline, plot details, links etc. Thanks in advance.

Interesting.. Rajini can play MGR, right?
KG, rumour has it that Rajni might star in a movie directed by Mani Ratnam, that will be produced by Kamal Hassan.
It is said director Saran will wield the microphone for Marmayogi.

Short of watching the movie, here is all the info about the 1951 original.
Thanks, Shiv. Really appreciate it
Hi, Vijay, I’m not sure if you’re still looking for Marmayogi (1951) If you’re then here’s a place you could look for that movie or even rent it.
