Production

Aradhana is a remake of the Bengali film Sagarika (1956). The song "Ohoho Mamayya" was planned to be filmed at Madras Zoo, but as the location was not found to be visually appealing due to continuous smoke emerging from coal engines there, the song was instead filmed at Mysore Zoo. While the film was predominantly in black-and-white, this song alone was filmed in colour.
