Production

Garjanam was the Malayalam version of the Tamil film Garjanai and the Kannada film Garjane. All three versions were filmed simultaneously. Jayan was the original lead actor of Garjanam. While half the film was shot, he met with an accident while shooting for another film Kolilakkam and succumbed to his injuries. After that, Garjanam was completed with Rajinikanth playing the same character. Some shots of Jayan were added to the film's opening reel before the credits at screenings in Kerala.[3]
