Savitri's first film as a director was 'Chinnari Papalu'. She took the muhurat shot of the film on 12th October, 1967 in Vahini Studios (Madras). She took care everything about the film like shopping for the heroine's costumes. Even she behaved like a producer of it. Because there were 14 share holders in that production company, Sri Matha Films. Their money was short to complete the movie. They took some financiers. So Savitri kept all the film's works on her shoulders before release of it, and put an uncountable amout. The film released in 1968 and collected Rs. 25 of each Rs. 100 only. Anyway it got Silver Nandi as Best Second Film.
