Film industry

Rajsree first appeared as a child artiste in the Tamil film ''Naga Devadhai'' in 1956. She worked as child artiste in films like ''Bhaktha Ambarisha'' (1959) and ''Mangalyam'' (1960) in Telugu, ''Aasha Sundari'' (1960) in Kannada, ''Petraval Kanda Peruvazhvu'' (1960) and ''Baktha Sabari'' (1960) in Tamil. She debuted as a young heroin in Telugu film Nitya Kalyanam Paccha Thoranam in 1960 opposite another debutante Hero Ramakrishna (Telugu actor). She acted as the supporting young heroine with the Malayalam film ''Bharya'' (1962). Her character was named Gracy. With the success of her debut Malayalam film, Rajsree was always credited throughout her Malayalam film career as Gracy. Some of her famous Malayalam movies include ''Kadalamma'' (1963), ''Rebecca'' (1963), ''Pazhassi Raja'' (1964) and ''Shakuntala'' (1965). However, she was cast only as supporting and second lead actress in Tamil films like ''Sengamala Theevu'' (1962), ''Nichaya Thaamboolam'' (1962), ''Thendral Veesum'' (1962), ''Kalai Arasi'' (1963), ''Yarukku Sondham'' (1963) and ''Kattu Maina'' (1963) in the period 1962 to 1963. Her portrayal as the courtesean Madhavi in the film ''Poompuhar'' brought her new recognition as supporting actress in 1964. It was the film ''Kadhalikka Neram Illai'' in 1964, which made her a household name as the main lead heroine. She started receiving more Tamil films from 1964 onward. However, she continued to be very selective as far as her choice of doing Malayalam movies was concerned. Her notable films in Malayalam as the lead heroine include ''Jail'' (1966), ''Kadamattathachan'' (1966), ''Anarkali'' (1966), ''Udhyogastha'' (1967), ''Karutha Rathrikal'' (1967), ''Kadal'' (1968), ''Dial 2244'' (1968), ''Urangatha Sundary'' (1969), ''Sree Guruvayoorappan'' (1972), ''Sreemurukan'' and ''Devi Kanyaakumaari'' (1974). She did about 30 movies in Malayalam. Her last Malayalam film was ''Vishwaroopam'' (1978). It was the Tamil comic classic, ''

'', that catapulted Rajasree to national fame. She quoted in an interview "When I got a call from such a big banner as Chitralaya asking me to be present at the studio the next morning, I couldn't believe my ears. Many artistes had been considered for the role, I had heard. The song, "Anubavam Pudhumai", was the sequence that was shot first. They liked it and I did the film,". Rajasree went on to play the same role in Telugu with Akkini Nageswara Rao and in Hindi with Shashi Kapoor — she was the only one to repeat the role in the remakes. She quoted in interview "I remember

Nagesh Nagesh (born Cheyur Krishnarao Nageshwaran; (27 September 1933 – 31 January 2009) was an Indian actor, mostly remembered for his roles as a comedian in Tamil films during the 1960s. Nagesh was born in Dharapuram. He acted in over 1,000 fi ...

pulling my leg often shouting out "Dhigilazhagi" whenever I was on the sets,". Hence both during the shooting of Bama Vijayam and every time she met actor Nagesh, he would always call her as Dhiglazhagi as in the film, a thief refers to her by that name. It was decided by Sridhar to remake ''Kadhallikaa Neram Illai'' in Hindi as ''Pyar Kiye Jaa'' and he retained only Rajasree from the original. Her debut Hindi film was a major box office hit in 1966. This led to her receiving films in Hindi as well. However none of her 4 films in Hindi became a hit except for her debut Hindi film. She made her heroine debut in Telugu films with Nitya Kalyanam Paccha Thoranam in 1960 opposite Hero Ramakrishna (Telugu actor) and 'Constable Kuthuru'' (1962) opposite Kanta Rao, but previously she had been already introduced as a child artist in ''Nagula Chavithi'' (1956). She was cast as the heroine of N. T. Rama Rao in films like ''

They worked in another 10 movies where they were not paired opposite each other. She did about 76 films in Telugu. Her last film in Telugu was ''Andame Anandham'' (1977). Her debut film in Kannada was ''Kantheredu Nodu'' (1961). The Kannada film ''Thejaswini'', produced by M. Pandaribai, made Rajasree a popular in the Kannada film circle. She played second lead supporting roles in Kannada films like ''Swarna Gowri'', ''Rathna Manjari'', ''Karuneye Kutumbada Kannu'' and ''Chandra Kumara''. She regularly starred in mythological period films like ''Santha Thukaram'' (1963), ''Shivarathri Mahathme'' and ''Shivagange Mahathme'' with either Rajkumar or Udaykumar or both. After achieving success in Tamil with ''Kadhalikka Neram Illai'', she decided to do only lead heroine roles even in Kannada from 1964. Her Kannada films as lead heroine include ''Chandavalliya Thota'', ''Satya Harishchandra'' (1965), ''Bala Nagamma'' (1966), ''Bhale Basava'', ''Mr. Rajkumar'' (1970), ''Jwala Mohini'', ''CID 72'' and ''C.I.D. Rajanna''. She was part of the cast in 14 films in Kannada with Rajkumar in the lead role. She did 30 films in Kannada with her last movie being ''Devadhasi'' (1978). She went on to do comedy films as the lead heroine in Tamil to capitalize on her comic abilities like ''Bama Vijayam'' (1967), Anubavi Raja Anubavi'' (1967), ''Anubavam Pudhumai'' (1967), ''Neeyum Naanum'' (1968) and ''Delhi Mapillai'' (1968). These films have developed classic cult status over the years. She then went on to get the second lead heroine roles in films with M. G. Ramachandran in the lead, like ''Thaikku Thalaimagan'' (1967), ''Kudiyirundha Koyil'' (1968), ''Adimai Penn'' (1969), ''Pattikaattu Ponnaiya'' (1973), ''Netru Indru Naalai'' (1974) and ''Naalai Namadhe'' (1975). Her other notable films in Tamil include ''Kallum Kaniyagum'', suspense thriller ''Selva Magal'' (1967), ''Siritha Mugam'' (1968), ''Patham Pasali'' (1970), ''Poi Sollathae'' (1971), ''Pattondru Ketten'' (1971), ''Yanai Valartha Vanampadi Magan'', ''Amudha'' (1975) and ''Veeduvarai Uravu'' (1976).
