+'''Kunchako (1912-76)'''
+
+
+Malayalam director and major producer born in
+Alleppey. One of the founders of the Kerala
+film industry when he set up his Udaya Studio
+(1947) in Alleppey and made Vellinakshatram
+(1949). Scripted M.R.S. Mani’s Kidappadam
+(1954). Long-time partner K.V. Koshy (they ran
+K & K Prod.) claimed in his autobiography
+(1968) to have followed the Telugu film-maker
+B.N. Reddi’s example and brought
+respectability to Malayalam cinema mainly by
+distancing themselves from Tamil film’s
+dominant genre conventions. Collaborated
+closely with scenarists Muthukulam
+Raghavan Pillai and K.P. Kottarakkara. This
+period provided the first Malayalam film stars,
+including Augustine Joseph and Sebastian
+Kunju Kunju Bhagavar (actor-singers from the
+professional theatre), Thikkurissi
+Sukumaran Nair and Kottarakkara
+Sridharan Nair. In the 60s the earlier stageinspired
+cinema was replaced by megastar
+Prem Nazir’s work. Films directed ranged
+across genres such as thrillers with barely
+concealed references to major scandals
+(Mainatharuvi Kola Case), political films
+(Pazhassi Raja, Jail, Punnapra Vyalar) and
+S.P. Pillai comedies (Neelisally et al.,
+forerunners of the Adoor Bhasi style). Later
+films referred to literary melodrama tradition
+known in local parlance as the paingili novel.
+Also made and produced mythologicals.
