During the re-release event of the movie MurariĀ on August 9th, fans had the opportunity to interact and ask questions about the film. The event turned into an interesting revelation session, especially when a movie lover brought up the movie Anthapuram.
One fan mentioned how they were fascinated by the changing saree colors of Soundarya in the song "Asale Em Jariginado." They asked how this creative idea came about. The answer was shocking to many viewers who had seen the movie on TV. The editor explained that the original version only had a red saree, and the changing colors were actually the result of an editor at Gemini Channel altering the colors during the broadcast. This revelation disappointed many fans who had missed the theatrical release and only watched the movie on TV, thinking the changing saree colors were a director's creative genius.
This means the supposed creative brilliance behind Soundarya's saree was actually due to a TV editor's trick. If this had not been revealed, the myth of the color-changing saree would have persisted. Anthapuram, directed by Krishna Vamsi with a Rayalaseema backdrop, was a commercial success. The song "Asale Em Jariginado," which portrays Soundaryaās love and sorrow after her husband's death, is unforgettable. With lyrics by Seetharama Sastry and music by Ilayaraja, the song has become a classic.
