Emme Thammanna (ⓘ) is a 1966 Indian Kannada-language film produced and directed by B. R. Panthulu. It stars Rajkumar, Dikki Madhava Rao, Bharathi Vishnuvardhan. The supporting cast features Narasimharaju, Subbanna, Krishna Shastry, B. R. Panthulu, Papamma, Jaya and M. V. Rajamma. The film was remade in Telugu as Govula Gopanna (1968),[1] in Hindi as Jigri Dost (1969)[2] and in Tamil as Mattukara Velan (1970).[3] This was the first social drama movie of Rajkumar where he played dual roles[4] in a full-fledged manner excluding Malli Maduve where his second character appears only for three seconds. The core plot was loosely based on a Marathi play.[5]
Thammanna, a cattleman, and Murali, a lawyer, are identical. Confusion arises when Thammanna falls in love with a rich and educated woman Meena, also a daughter of a lawyer, who mistakes him for Murali.
