Paduvaaralli Pandavaru is a 1978 Indian Kannada language film directed by Puttanna Kanagal. It stars Ambareesh, Ramakrishna and Jai Jagadish as the protagonists and Aarathi makes an extended special appearance in the role of a journalist. The movie was an adaptation of the epic Mahabharata. Fit into a rural scenario, the film references some of the clashes between the Pandavas and the Kauravas.
The film was remade in Telugu as Manavoori Pandavulu (1978) by Bapu,[1] who later directed the Hindi remake Hum Paanch (1981) and in Tamil as Pannai Purathu Pandavargal (1982).[2]
