Jyothi (Jayasudha), a teenage girl who is in love with Ravi (Murali Mohan), suddenly marries Rajayya (Gummadi), an old man who is about her father's age. Everyone thinks she married him for the old man's property that she inherits after the marriage, but truth is different. The secret behind this unexpected marriage forms the rest of the gripping family story.
Despite Raghavendra Rao's debut film Babu (1975) becoming a failure, Kranthi Kumar had confidence in him and assigned him to direct Jyothi.[2]
The film was inspired by the Hindi film Mili (1975),[1] though the storyline is completely different from the original except for the heroine suffering from a deadly disease.
