Cast

Production

The film marked the debut of choreographer Raju Sundaram as the protagonist in films, after he had appeared in item numbers as well as a supporting role in Shankar's Jeans. The director of the film was to be Raajadurai, who had been an erstwhile assistant of director Manoj Kumar during the making of Vaanavil.[3][4] When the film began production in late 2001, a Telugu version titled I Love You Raa was also planned.[5] Actress Simran, Raju Sundaram's girlfriend during the period, was signed to play the female lead role.[6][7] The couple however split during the production of the film.[8] Early reports suggested that noted South Indian cricketers including Sadagoppan Ramesh, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and Javagal Srinath may feature as themselves in the film, but this proved to be untrue.[9]

Despite the completion of the film's scenes by early 2002, production delays meant that the film faced a belated release at the end of the year.[10]

Release

The film gained unanimously poor reviews upon release, with Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu stating that the film "falls flat due to identifiable reasons — the director has not done his homework properly, the dialogue makes you squirm at times, none of the actors seems involved in the role taken up and to top it all the lead pair fails to make even a slight impression".[11]
