Production
K. Selvabharathi, who had previously worked with Vijay in Ninaithen Vandhai, opted to remake the 2001 Telugu hitNuvvu Naaku Nachav into Tamil. Sneha was signed on to be a part of the film after becoming one of the Tamil film industry's most sought after actresses during 2001 and 2002.[1] Gayatri Jayaraman was also signed on to play a supporting role.[2]
A song from the film was canned in New Zealand, while filming was also carried out in Ooty, Tamil Nadu.[3][4]
Release
The Hindu gave the film an average review claiming that "the story may be a retold version — but the screenplay, dialogue and direction are K. Selvabharathy's", but adds that "the last few scenes are a real drag."[5] Another critic from entertainment portal, Bizhat.com, revealed that "the problem with this film is the weak script and the plot was fairly predictable. Vijay saves the movie from being unbearable".[6]
The film opened alongside several prominent films such as the Vikram starrer Dhool and the Kamal Haasan-Madhavan starrer Anbe Sivam and thus stuggled to establish an opening.[7] The film was a commercial failure for production house, Sathyam Cinemas.[8]
