Trivia
Although 'Sri Raghavendrar' is a biographical film depicting the spiritual life of Hindu saint Raghavendra Swami, this sensual song features in the pre-monastic courtly life sequences of Venkatanatha (played by Rajinikanth), highlighting his early appreciation for art and romance before renunciation.
