Production

The film progressed with shoots in Pollachi taking place in 2001, with producer GR choosing to also essay a role in the film.^[3] Prathyusha committed suicide in February 2002 and the film was subsequently delayed. The film remained unsold and unable to gain a distributor for an extended period after time after the venture had been completed.^[4] During the delay, Aarthikumar had completed another film Azhagesan again with Sathyaraj.

Release

The film eventually had a low key release in August 2004, releasing three weeks after another Sathyaraj starrer Sema Ragalai. The film won mixed reviews with a critic noting "With its measly story and laughable characterization, it is likely to be forgotten even faster than his other movies."^[5] A critic from The Hindu noted it was "typical fare" and that "it evokes only a lukewarm response because both the hero's characterisation and the storyline are vague throughout."^[6]
