Tata Sons has been exploring the possibility of being exempted from a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) notification, issued in October 2021, that included it among the top 10 non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in terms of asset size, said people with knowledge of the matter. Viswanath made several films with art, particularly music, as the backdrop. 'Subhapradam', a 2010 Telugu film starring Allari Naresh and Manjari Phadnis, was his most recent directorial project. Viswanath became a national phenomenon with the widely popular and celebrated 1980 Telugu film Sankarabharanam, thanks to the film's phenomenal success everywhere. The film discussed the disparity between Carnatic and Western music from the perspectives of two generations. Viswanath made his directorial debut in 1965 with the film 'Aatma Gowravam', which won the state Nandi award.

With the success of Sankarabharanam, K Vishwanath set himself a standard so high that nothing less than a compelling script, good music and talented actors in his subsequent films would ensure their success. His association with producer Edida Nageswara ...

He always wore khaki clothes on the set and would often mention that it symbolises and reminds him of the discipline required at work. Viswanath who started as a director with ANR-starer Atma Gouravam (1965) entered the industry as a sound engineer. Mammootty played a classical musician who envies the talent of a child prodigy in Swati Kiranam. Venkatesh played a painter who eggs on a dancer (Bhanupriya) to respect her talent in Swarnakamalam. Some of Viswanath’s successful Telugu films were remade into Hindi with moderate success. Telugu film industry can be segregated into pre and post- Sankarabharanam (1980).

As you are no doubt aware, Swarajya is a media product that is directly dependent on support from its readers in the form of subscriptions. He had the knack of making you believe in whatever role he did. The student commits suicide, and eventually the master has to find redemption by running a musical school in his ward's name. It is no exaggeration to say that the success of Sankarabharanam, replete with Carnatic classical songs under the baton of K V Mahadevan, was instrumental in southern Indian classical music getting a huge fresh lease of life among the young. Srivennela, essentially a love triangle film, also shows how art can transcend the physical handicap (the hero is blind and the heroine is mute). As a person born into a traditional family whose roots lay in a small village on the banks of river Krishna, Viswanath always had the ears and eyes for traditional classical arts. His films contain hall-of-fame songs because the man had the nous and nuance to get them out of his music directors. Viswanath was certainly one as his movies exhibited a nobility residing inside the human heart, and his characters, even in their evilness, were not entirely bad. In this film, a master is jealous of his protege's talent and ability. The two were also linked by their own professional relations to that peerless screen performer Kamal Haasan --- both KB and Viswanath's best works had Kamal as the hero, and it was no coincidence. Most of his such works, interestingly, had the name starting with the letter 'S': Siri Siri Muvva, Sagara Sangamam (Salangai Oli in Tamil), Sruthilayalu, Swarnakamalam, Srivennela, and, of course the most famous of them all, Sankarabharanam. Even though the film did not have the usual assured grip of vintage Viswanath --- by 2004 the veteran was past his prime --- the plot did give us an intriguing peep into the fevered undercurrents that run beneath successful artistic partnerships.

In a statement, the T.N. Chief Minister said the demise of Viswanath was an “irreparable loss to the Indian cine world”

I express my deep condolences to the bereaved family members, cine fraternity and his fans,” the statement said. “The demise of Mr. Stalin said Viswanath, a recipient of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, directed great movies like Sangarabharanam and Salangai Oli and also several others in multiple languages.
