Keralida Simha (transl. Angry Lion) is a 1981 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Chi Dattaraj. The film stars Rajkumar, Saritha, Thoogudeepa Srinivas, Pandari Bai and Srinivasa Murthy. The movie was produced by P. H. Ramarao in the banner of Sri Rajarajeshwari Film combines.[1] The movie was recorded a Blockbuster at the box office and had a theatrical run of over 100 days in multiple centres.
A day before the release, the prints of the movie got stuck in Chennai and the producer had no option other than scrapping the movie. However, Parvathamma Rajkumar stepped in at the end moment and arranged for personal transportation for the rolls to be distributed to the district centres in Karnataka and saw to that the movie released smoothly. This incident proved her mettle in the industry as a distributor and her ability to sail through the crisis.[2] Director Ravi Srivatsa had claimed that Parvathamma had revealed to him that when the censor certification was deliberately being delayed, she had released the first show without censor certificate.[3]
