Trivia:
Actress Mahanati Savitri was the only actress to achieve equal pay as male superstars like NTR and ANR.

Actress Savitri's marriage to actor Gemini Ganeshan got revealed to the public when she accidentally signed the Lux contract as Savitri Ganesh.

Director Ashwin had spent six months in research by reading articles and books, while meeting old journalists and actors who had been associated with the actress.

Director Ashwin had considered actor Suriya and Madhavan for the role of Gemini Ganesan, Savitri's husband before finalizing Dulquer Salmaan for the character.

'Mahaanati' was screened at The Shanghai International Film Festival which was held in China between 15th to 24th of June 2019.
