Bommasandra Srinivasaiah Suryanarayana Murthy (16 March 1933–26 December 1985), known by his screen name Uday Kumar, was an Indian actor and producer in Kannada cinema. Along with Kalyan Kumar and Rajkumar, he was referred to as the Kumarathrayaru (meaning "the three Kumars") of Kannada cinema.[1] He was a writer, authoring numerous dramas and books.[2] He also performed a broad range of roles and worked with all the prominent actors of his time.[3] Early in his career, he portrayed heroic characters, later transitioning to more nuanced villainous roles, often countering Rajkumar's heroic persona in historical and mythological films.[4]
