Interesting facts

Polladhavan is a 1980 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film produced by S. Ravi, directed and co-written by his father Muktha Srinivasan. A remake of the 1976 Kannada film Premada Kanike, it stars Rajinikanth, Lakshmi and Sripriya. The film revolves around a wealthy estate merchant who keeps his daughter's nanny captive in his house as she witnessed a murder committed by him.

Production

Rajinikanth initially wanted to star in a Tamil remake of the Hindi film Vishwanath (1978), with S. Ravi producing. Ravi watched the film, but did not like it; Rajinikanth and Ravi then decided to remake a different film. K. Balaji gave Ravi a video cassette of the Kannada film Premada Kanike (1976), and told him to tell Rajinikanth to watch it.
