‘MMKR’ directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao got released in 1990. Kamal scripted the film, which is about quadruplets who get separated at birth and later cross paths as adults. Kamal himself played all the four lead roles. The film has a cult status among cinephiles as it is considered a phenomenal achievement to pull off a film like that during the 90s
