Prahalada is a 1939 Indian Tamil language film directed by B. N. Rao.[1] It deals with the story of Prahlada and his devotion to Lord Vishnu. It was one of the earliest adaptations this mythologic story after the 1932 Telugu version. The story has subsequently been adapted 20 times in numerous languages including Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali and Assamese with most of them being successful at the box office.[2] It is also the one of those rare instances where a story has been adapted so many times, generally to box-office success.
