Production



The story was obliquely adapted from Molieres play, 'The School for Husbands'. Vikatayogi was filmed at Meenakshi Cinetone, which then became Neptune Studios and eventually Sathya Studios.

This film lofted B. S. Saroja who was performing as a group dancer earlier, to stardom.

Soundtrack



Music was composed by Modhi Babu, Brother Lakshmanan and Radha Krishnan while the lyrics were penned by Udumalai Narayana Kavi and Rajagopala Iyer.

Trivia



K. Subramanyam planned a film with M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar in the lead and had recorded one song sung by Bhagavathar. However, he could not proceed with the film as Bhagavathar went to prison. Subramanyam used that song in this film creating an apt scene. Thus a PUC film had a Bhagavathar song in it!
