Swarnachamaram was the film which was supposed to be the first Sivaji Ganeshan and Mohanlal combination movie. The film was directed by Rajiv Nath, but due to unofficial reasons, the film was dropped after canning many scenes and a song of Sivaji Ganeshan and Mohanlal combo. So producer V.B.K.Menon used the same dates and announced Yathramozhi, which had the story by Priyadarshan. Even after the completion of the movie, the film was on hold for over 1 year, but became a Box-office hit, surprising everybody. Illayaraja' s music was a major highlight of this movie. The title Yathramozhi was changed as Oru Yathramozhi later.
