Nameetha starrer 'Jaganmohini' unit is said to be working overtime with a view that the film should do better than Anoushka's 'Arundhathi'. Producer Murali has apparently instructed his crew to leave no stone unturned to ensure that the film should have graphic sequences equal to, if not better than 'Arunthadhi' which has been doing brisk business in Tamil, Telugu and Sinhalese languages.

The aim to beat Arundhati has resulted in a hike in graphics-budget, which is expected to double up and touch Rs.2 crores. The film, directed by cinematographer N.K. Viswanathan, would be a new one and would only have a solitary sequence from the earlier 'Jaganmohini' released in late seventies that starred Jayamalini.

The sequence in question is the one where Namitha, the spirit, puts her own leg in the burning stove, cooks it up and serves it to her guest. Even before the film's shooting is completed, there has been tough competition among distributors to acquire the distribution rights of the bilingual Tamil-Telugu film.
