+'''K. S.Gopalakrishnan'''
+
+
+Tamil director. Originally a playwright, started
+as actor in Nawab Rajamanikkam Co. Later
+production manager for Venus Pics. Scripted
+Bhimsingh’s Padikkatha Methai (1960) and
+later Krishnan-Panju’s Annai (1962).
+Commercially successful middle-budget
+director in 60s/70s Tamil cinema, initially
+making theatrical melodramas (début feature,
+Sharada, is about a man with sexual
+problems). Shifted to mythologicals with the hit
+Adi Parasakthi after A.P. Nagarajan revived
+the genre. Adi Parasakthi is sometimes seen as
+the first mythological hit to revive the famous ‘
+little’ tradition of 50s Tamil cinema: films
+featuring local deities rather than stories from
+pan-Indian epics. Launched his own studio
+after the success of Karpagam, naming it after
+the film. He is not to be confused either with
+an earlier Tamil director who worked at the
+Gemini Studios in the 40s, or with the more
+recent Malayalam director with the same name.
