Avargal was followed by Gayathri, released in October 1977.

The film, based on a novel by the same name by eminent Tamil writer Sujatha was directed by lesser known director R Pattabhiraman.

This tale of degradation and debauchery is about a husband making pornographic films of his wife (Sridevi) without her knowledge and then blackmailing her.

The film is all about how Sridevi rescues herself from her husband's clutches through her diary with the help of Jaishankar, the hero of the piece.

The movie was a hit and won Rajni much critical acclaim.
