The song ''"Godavaridevi Maunavaagi''" is more popularly known as ''"Vaidehi Enadalo''" since the opening words never repeat again in the song. BS Ranga, who planned to shoot a summary of Ramayana via a separate song with actress Jamuna as Seetha, had asked music director GK Venkatesh to check about the availability of actress Jamuna and to verify the status, he sent a telegram using minimal words - ''Vaidehi Enadalo'' (meaning what happened to Seetha).
