Vani, an orphan, is ill-treated by her aunt who seeks to usurp her wealth. When she runs away from home, her lookalike, Rani, enters the house and she teaches Vani's aunt a lesson.
Vani Rani is a remake of the Hindi film Seeta Aur Geeta.[3] The film was initially directed by Tapi Chanakya; due to his death partway through the shoot, he was replaced by C. V. Rajendran.[4][5] Both Chanakya and Rajendran received director's credit.[6]
