A star-studded movie featuring Sivaji Ganesan and Vyjayanthimala in the lead roles, Chitoor Rani Padmini was directed by Chithrapu Narayanamurthi who made films in Telugu and Tamil with a good measure of success. This film was produced under the banner Uma Pictures, a company owned by RM Ramanathan, who was also a sound recordist of the famous Newtone Studios. The story and screenplay were written by C. V. Sridhar, along with Elangovan. The story of Chitoor Rani Padmini of Rajasthan is well known among Indians, and somewhat interestingly, historians have found and gone on record that Rani Padmini was a figment of fiction. One historian in his blog has stated that there is no portrait of the queen anywhere in Rajasthan, and the ones seen are all based on the imagination of the painters.
M.N. Nambiar as Khilji performed in his characteristic fashion, which was a plus point to the film. Maestro art director and production designer A. K. Sekhar of the immortal Ramnoth-Sekhar duo excellently designed the sets and costumes.
G. Ramanathan composed the music in his own style and the songs were rendered by Sirgazhi Govindarajan, P. Susheela, Soolamangalam Rajalakshmi and S. Janaki. Though the songs were melodic, none of them became hits.
Somewhat interestingly, not many films in other languages have been made about the story. However, one television serial in Hindi about Rani Padmini sacrificing her life was made and it had a good reception.
