Rajinikanth and Sridevi in the Tamil film Gaayathri (1977)

 

Rajinikanth and Sridevi in the Tamil film Gaayathri (1977). Released 43 years ago today - 7 October, 1977. 

One of the many films with Rajinikanth as the villain - who stole the show. 

The Tamil film Gaayathri was released on 7 October, 1977. The original story was written by the popular Tamil writer Sujatha, with a screenplay by Panju Arunachalam.  Popular actor Jaishankar acted as a lawyer, while singer Sujatha made her debut as a singer at the age of 14 in this film.

Sridevi - already headlining a film in her teens -  this was yet another title role for the actress in Tamil cinema. 

25 years later, a similar plot of the film Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe appeared in Bollywood - a film produced by Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor. However, the Hindi film flopped and received none of the acclaim Gaayathri did.
