Priya is an Indian thriller film directed by S. P. Muthuraman, starring Rajinikanth, Sridevi, Ambareesh, and Aznah Hamid.

[5] The soundtrack of this film is recorded using stereophonic sound technology for the first time in Tamil cinema.

Janardhan has such a tight control over Priya's financial and personal affairs that he refuses to let her marry her boyfriend Bharat.

Before she flies off to Singapore for a film shoot, Priya seeks the help of lawyer Ganesh to get rid of Janardhan.

[15][16] Ilaiyaraaja revealed he wanted to use this technology in Annakili (1976); however since he was a debutant, sound engineers did not encourage him that time.

Responding to the criticism, Arunachalam said the original novel had dialogues between two characters over 40 pages and audience would not have patience if it was faithfully presented onscreen, so he made changes keeping the "very ordinary filmgoer in mind".
