Production

Sabapathy was one of the early hits of Tamil film pioneer A. V. Meiyappan. He entered the Tamil film industry as a director with his 1935 film "Alli Arjuna" which bombed at the box-office. His other early ventures too were average grossers.

The movie is a highly entertaining full length comedy. The story is about a happy-go lucky character sabapathy and his male servant who also goes by the same name.

AVM's 1940-mythological "Bhookailash" and his 1941 comedy film "Sabapathy" were resounding hits, the first of his, which actually made his name as a director and film personalitycite news | last=Guy | first=Randor | title= AVM, the adventurer | date=July 28, 2006 | url =http://www.hindu.com/fr/2006/07/28/stories/2006072802680100.htm | work =The Hindu: Friday Review | accessdate = 2008-04-26] .
