Sattathai Thiruthungal

Sattathai Thiruthungal is a 1984 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by Rama Narayanan. It is a remake of the Telugu film Abhilasha, itself an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Yandamuri Veerendranath. The film stars Mohan and Nalini, with Radha Ravi, Sathyaraj, Y. G. Mahendran and S. S. Chandran in supporting roles. It was released on 15 June 1984.

Production

During the filming of a dance song sequence involving Sathyaraj and Silk Smitha, Sathyaraj accidentally stomped Smitha's leg, and Smitha refused to continue acting with him, but Rama Narayanan pacified her by saying Sathyaraj was not a trained dancer and promised not to let this happen again. The film was originally titled Sattathai Vudaikkiren, but was retitled Sattathai Thiruthungal after a request from the censor board.

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Gangai Amaran.
