Nirdoshi or Niraparadhi ( transl. Blameless) is a 1951 Telugu/Tamil film produced and directed by H. M. Reddy. [1] Mukkamala Krishna Murthy played role of hero whereas Anjali Devi played double role. The Rai Brothers (P. L. Rai and Viswanatha Rai) worked as Cinematographers behind the camera [2] and Ghantasala as Music director. Edited by M.S. Parthasarathy [3]
As Mukkamala Krishna Murthy could not speak Tamil, Director H. M. Reddy appointed Sivaji Ganesan as a dubbing artiste. Sivaji Ganesan was a stage actor and not much known at that time. [4]
Edited by M.S. Parthasarathy. [3] Kona Prabhakara Rao has subsequently entered politics and rose to the level of minister and Governor in India.
