- Uthama Puthiran (transl. Virtuous Son) is a 1958 Indian Tamil-language historical action film directed by T. Prakash Rao. Co-produced by C. V. Sridhar, who also wrote the screenplay, the film stars Sivaji Ganesan and Padmini, with M. K. Radha, M. N. Nambiar, K. A. Thangavelu, Ragini and Kannamba in supporting roles. It revolves around twins who are separated at birth; one grows up as a kind and honest man, while the other grows up as a greedy and arrogant man. Uthama Puthiran is a remake of the 1940 Tamil film of the same name, itself based on The Man in the Iron Mask, the third part of the 1847–1850 novel The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later by Alexandre Dumas. It is the first film to feature Ganesan in two distinct roles, and the first Indian film to have the shots with zoom technique. Cinematography was handled by A. Vincent, and editing by N. M. Shankar. Uthama Puthiran was released on 7 February 1958, and distributed by Ganesan's company Sivaji Films. The film became a major commercial success, with a theatrical run of over 100 days, and established Ganesan as one of the most bankable stars in Tamil cinema. (en)

- In those days, it was technically very difficult to film movies which call for double roles. Though computer technology was non-existent those days, filming was very well executed. There was nothing much to my dance performance in Utthama Puthiran. I had already mentioned I was a good dancer, having been trained in the art of traditional Indian dance. The dance performance for Utthama Puthiran was different. The credit goes to the dance master, Heera Lal, who conceived the dance and choreographed it with fast steps and claps. (en)
