Описание: Puttanna Kanagal (born Shubraveshti Ramaswamiah Seetharama Sharma, 1 December 1933 – 5 June 1985), fondly called the 'Chitra Bramha' (God of Films, kannada)was an Indian filmmaker and is considered as one of Kannada's cinema's greatest filmmakers.

Puttanna Kanagal was born to Ramaswamaiah and Subbamma in Kanagal, a village in the erstwhile Kingdom of Mysore into a poor Brahmin family belonging to the Mulukanadu subcaste and the Smartha sect.[4] As he hailed from a poor family, he had to endure hardships and struggled to get a decent job. He worked as a cleaner, salesman and even as a teacher. His job as a publicity boy brought him closer to theatre and subsequently to cinema.[5] His association with films began when he started working for B. R. Panthulu as an assistant director and also as his driver.[3] His first film as an assistant director was Rathnagiri Rahasya (1957).

In spite of his glorious film career, his personal life had apparent shades of mysticism and sorrow. Although married to Nagalakshmi Kanagal and sired children, he shared a very passionate relationship with actress Kalpana, which raised several eyebrows. Kalpana and Puttanna were two very great artists of their times. Together they bridged the fields of cinema and literature – considering the fact that the notably complex subjects of Triveni, were not only brought in their completeness into cinema world but were well acknowledged and have remained immensely popular by the audience. Sadly, after the majestic Sharapanjara the pair never worked together. Though he touched several social subjects which were considered taboo, as also the dogmatic mysteries with rigorous attention and meticulous research, he never tried to cast his own limitations, and tried living with his sorrows, as he lived with his glories.

Kanagal died on 5 June 1985 in Bengaluru, while in preparation of the movie Masanada Hoovu.
