'Chandrakantha' (1936), I believe is the first
movie acted by PUC. He acted as a prince in that
movie. Though it was a success, several movies
acted by him soon after that were failures. The
movie, 'Uththama Puththiran' (1940) by Modern
Theatres gave him a lift again. (This movie was
remade later with Sivaji as the hero.) PUC acted
in dual roles (maaRupatta guNangaLai koNda
irattaiyargaL). Bharadhiyaarin senthamizh

gaNeerendra PUC voice-il
indha padaththildhaan idam petradhu. sudhandhira
pOraattam soodu pidiththirundha vELaiyil ip paattum

that came soon after was 'Aryamaalaa' (1941) in
Patchiraja Films. aanandha roobiNiyE aariyamaalaa and
siva kirubaiyaal were two hit songs in that
movie. PUC acted in 10 different roles in that
movie and impressed the audience tremendously
as a great actor!
