Vivasayee (Tamil: விவசாயி English: Farmer), is a 1967 Indian Tamil directed by M.A.Thirumugam, starring M. G. Ramachandran in the lead role, with K. R. Vijaya, M. N. Nambiar, S. A. Asokan, Nagesh and Manorama among others enacting supporting roles.
Sandow M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar's main intention to produce this movie was to encourage MGR's recovery from the MGR's shooting incident, on 12 January 1967. Sandow M.M.A.Chinnappa Devar paid the advance for the movie at the hospital during his first visit to see MGR. When MGR recovered and after completing ARASA KATTALAI & KAAVALKAARAN he immediately started this project and completed it within months. Remember MGR's speech therapy (for the vocal cord damage) wasn't complete at the time.
Somewhere in the Tamil country, in one of its vast green campaigns...
Muthaiya (MGR), a young agronomist and a farmer, full of ingenuity, a high integrity, a worker and a pride of his parents, the rich big landowner, The Pannaiyar Duraiswamy (Major Sundarrajan) and of his wife, devoted Sivagami (S. N. Lakshmi), revolutionize the exploitation of his father, by applying new methods of sowings.
He (MGR) so hopes to multiply tenfold the yield for humanitarian purposes and not necessarily or only lucrative.
