The biopic on legendary actress Savitri Mahanati in Telugu and Nadigaiyar Thilagam in Tamil is doing well at the box-office. The film charts the journey of Savitri from her childhood to her stardom and then the impendent doom. While the film is winning hearts from all quarters, Gemini Ganesan’s daughter Kamala Selvaraj from his first wife Alamelu, has hit back at makers for showing his father in poor light.
“Savitri had multiple relationships, and one of them was with Gemini. My father didn’t influence Savitri to become an alcoholic. He did the best to give her dignity and protection because he loved her truly. Also, Gemini Ganesan was a top actor, who was on par with MG Ramachandran and Sivaji Ganesan. But in the film, he is shown to be jobless and hanging around the sets of Savitri’s films all the time. There’s no mention of his fan-following in the film,” she was quoted by a daily.
Actor Rajesh Sensational Comments On Savitri
On the other side, Tamil veteran actor Rajesh revealed startling facts about Savitri. He said, “Savitri was in love and she knew that Gemini Ganesan was already married. She shouldn’t have loved or married him. That’s a grave mistake on her part as Gemini Ganesan’s principles in life were different.”
