MS’ first movie was Sevasadanam released in 1938 when MS was 22 years old.
In the Hindu FrontLine article titled ‘A progressive film-maker’ , S Viswanathan writes
“Subramanyam introduced a number of artists to a career in films, foremost among them being the Carnatic music stalwart M.S. Subbulakshmi.
Seva Sadhanam championed the cause of women’s equality. Based on a novel by Premchand, the film was a bitter attack on the dowry system”
It was jointly produced by K Subramanyam and Sadasivam.
