Trivia

  • The film was originally titled 'Gayathri' but was later changed to 'Gaayathri' to avoid confusion with another movie.
  • This was one of the few Tamil films of the era where the lead actress, Jayachitra, played a character fighting against blackmail and exploitation.
  • Director R. Pattabhiraman was primarily known for his work in Telugu cinema, making this a relatively rare Tamil directorial venture for him.
  • The movie's plot involving the sale of intimate footage was considered a bold and controversial subject for mainstream Tamil cinema in the late 1970s.
  • Composer Shankar–Ganesh, known for their peppy numbers, provided the music, creating a contrast with the film's serious dramatic core.
  • The film's release coincided with a period of shifting social themes in Tamil cinema, moving towards more female-centric narratives.
  • Actor Srikanth, who played the male lead, was often cast in romantic roles, making his character in this film a notable departure.
