No idea about all South Biggies but they were introduced way before the SKs. Probably during 1960-1970s.

no no it was named as KK express karnatak-kerala express via bza-kpd with bifurcation/amalgumation done at Jolarpettai. Later One super fast train was introduced in 1984 most probably with no 901/902 nizamuddin and bangalore via manmad.
later it was withdrawn diverting karnataka express via Dharmavaram Guntakal.

in fact Tamil nadu express, Andhrapradesh express, karnataka-kerala express, Coromondal, Gitanjali, Ganga-kaveri, Minar express(now Hussain sagar) all...
