Production

Naam Iruvar was a successful film for T. R. Mahalingam. Sukumar was the name of his role in this film. He considered it to be a lucky name and named his son as Sukumar. In 1950, he launched a company Sri Sukumar Productions and produced a film titled Macha Regai. It was a failure. He produced Mohana Sundaram in 1951 that fared not so bad in the box-office. In 1952 he produced Chinna Durai that he himself directed. Again, it was a failure. All these 3 films had almost the same cast. T. R. Mahalingam was determined to produce a successful film. So he produced this film (Vilaiyattu Pillai was the original name) Vilaiyattu Bommai. He changed the cast and made the experienced T. R. Raghunath as director. However, this film also was a failure. After this, he started production of another film titled Theru Padagan and abandoned it half way. He lost all his wealth and became insolvent.[2]
Though the films failed in box-office, most of the songs became popular.
