The son of Alli)[2] is a 1959 Indian Tamil-language film directed by K. Somu and written by A. P. Nagarajan.
Produced by A. Maruthakasi under the banner M. M. Productions, the film stars S. V. Sahasranamam, Pandari Bai and V. K. Ramasamy.
This was the only film Maruthakasi had produced and was supposed to be completed within six months; instead it took two years as Maruthakasi was busy writing lyrics and also false rumours of him not writing lyrics led to huge problems.
[1][4] Two songs from the film – "Ejaman Petra Selvame" and "Paisaavai Pottu Naisaaga Vaangi" – attained popularity.
The film was a commercial failure, and made Maruthakasi face huge debts.
