Production
Chandrasekhar initially planned to remake his Kannada film Geluvu Nannade as Vetri Namadhe with Vijayakanth and Mohan in lead roles; however the project was shelved after Mohan left the film hence Chandrasekhar started another project which eventually became Saatchi. The lead role was offered to Prabhu, and later Karthik, both of whom declined; Vijayakanth was ultimately cast. The film was launched on 9 May 1983 at AVM Studios. Filming took place in Salem. == Soundtrack ==

Critical reception
Jayamanmadhan of Kalki praised the performances of Vijayakanth and Nambiar but panned Viji's acting and concluded calling it a fast-paced film. Balumani of Anna praised the acting, stunt choreography and stated it would have been better if the focus on the first half of the screenplay had been a little more than the focus on the second half. Although the first half is a bit boring, the second half makes up for it. == References ==
