This poster is from the 1954 Hindu mythological movie Bedara Kannappa. It was written and directed by H. L. N. Simha. Rajkumar plays the titular role in the movie, which also features major performances by Pandari Bai, Kushala Kumari, G. V. Iyer, Sandhya, and Narasimharaju. The hunter Kannappa, who demonstrates his intense devotion to the Hindu god Shiva by gouging out both of his eyes, is the subject of a folktale that served as the basis for the stage production by the Gubbi Veeranna Nataka Company that was turned into a movie.
