K Viswanath, often known as ‘Kalathapaswi,' is regarded as one of India's greatest directors. Kamal Haasan, the star of ‘Ulaganayagan,' is a consummate actor. You can expect a master lesson in filmmaking when these two behemoths join forces. The association produced films such as Sagara Sangamam (1983), Swathimuthyam (1986), and Subha Sankalpam (1995), all of which have left an indelible mark on south Indian cinema.
On June 3, 1983, Sagara Sangamam was released in theatres. Despite numerous television reruns, the film continues to be popular.
Sagara Sangamam stars Kamal Haasan, Jaya Prada, and SP Sailaja and tells the story of Balakrishna (Kamal Haasan), a classical dancer who lives on the streets. Sagara Sangamam is mostly about traditional dance, but it also explores the worth of an artist and his or her trade in today's commercialized world. While Kamal Haasan steals the show, K Viswanath's film sends a powerful message. The master Ilaiyaraaja's music is the cherry on top.
