Bommasandra Srinivasaiah Suryanarayana Murthy (born 16 March 1933 – 26 December 1985), known by his screen name Udaykumar, was an Indian actor and producer in Kannada cinema. He, along with Kalyan Kumar and Rajkumar, were called the Kumarathrayaru (meaning the three Kumars) of Kannada cinema.[1] He authored many dramas and books.[2] He performed a broad range of roles and worked with all of the prominent actors of his day.[3] He portrayed heroic characters early in his career and then played more nuanced villainous characters, often countering Rajkumar's heroic persona in historicals and mythologicals.[4]
