Production


AVM Productions wanted to remake the Bengali film Shatru (1984) in Tamil and Telugu. However, the remake rights proved too expensive, so the idea was dropped. Instead, AVM borrowed two scenes from that film and created a new story, titled Sankar Guru in Tamil and Chinnari Devatha in Telugu. Both versions were filmed simultaneously.[1]


Soundtrack


The music of Sankar Guru was composed by Chandrabose, with lyrics by Vairamuthu.[2][3] The music of Chinnari Devatha was composed by K. Chakravarthy, with lyrics by Veturi.[4][5]
