Interesting facts

Jaganmohini is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language historical horror film directed by N. K. Viswanathan. It is based on B. Vittalacharya's 1978 Telugu film of the same name which itself was a remake of the 1951 Kannada film Jaganmohini. The film stars Raja, Namitha and Meera Chopra, credited as Nila. It was partially reshot into Telugu with the same name, with Ali replacing Vadivelu and Gundu Hanumantha Rao replacing Vennira Aadai Moorthy.

Production

Producer H. Murali said Namitha was the only choice for playing the title character because the team felt she had both glam and acting skills. While the film acts as a remake, minor changes were made to "suit the times". The scene where Jaganmohini harvests pearls underwater was filmed at Andaman.
