Trivia

  • The film was originally planned with M.G. Ramachandran in the lead, but Sivaji Ganesan eventually played the role.
  • It was the first Tamil film to be shot extensively in Mysore Palace, a location rarely used then.
  • The movie's climax features a rare on-screen sword fight between Sivaji Ganesan and M.N. Nambiar.
  • Director A.P. Nagarajan, known for mythologicals, made this as one of his few action-oriented social dramas.
  • The title 'Navarathinam' refers to nine gems, but the film does not have nine main characters, playing on symbolic meaning.
  • Composer M.S. Viswanathan recorded the songs in a single, long studio session to maintain continuity.
  • Despite its star cast, the film had a moderate box office run compared to the director's earlier mythological hits.
