''Swarnachamaram'' is a film that was shelved as a result of creative differences over the topic of [[mercy killing]]. Many scenes were edited out of the film along with a song by Sivaji Ganeshan and Mohanlal. Producer V. B. K. Menon used the same dates and completed ''Oru Yathramozhi'', starring Sivaji Ganesan and Mohanlal. The movie was not released until a year or so after completion.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Swarnachamaram Naalukettil|journal=[[Vellinakshatram (magazine)|Vellinakshatram]]|date=24 December 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Location Report - Swarnachamaram|url=http://www.snehasallapam.com/forum2/174-kk_vin-collections-121.html|publisher=[[Vellinakshatram (magazine)|Vellinakshatram]] scanned pages by snehasallapam|access-date=2014-10-07}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=Swarnachamaram Shooting progressing|journal=[[Vellinakshatram (magazine)|Vellinakshatram]]|date=19 November 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=Swarnachamaram Gaananiroopanam|journal=[[Vellinakshatram (magazine)|Vellinakshatram]]|date=24 December 1995}}</ref>
