Trivia

  • The film was originally titled 'Suryakanthi' but changed to 'Suryagandhi' to avoid confusion with another movie.
  • It was one of the early films to directly address male ego and working women's financial independence in a Tamil family drama.
  • The movie's music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, but it did not produce a major hit song like many of his other scores.
  • Actress Jayalalithaa was initially considered for the female lead role, but it ultimately went to a different performer.
  • Director Muktha Srinivasan often made films with social messages, and this was his take on changing gender roles in the 1970s.
  • The film was not a major commercial success, which led to it being less remembered compared to other family dramas of the era.
  • Some scenes were shot in then-popular Madras locations like Mount Road to show the urban middle-class setting.
