Cast

Production

Vijay recommended Isha Koppikar for the lead female role to his father, who signed her on. Vijay revealed he was impressed with her acting despite her lack of understanding of Tamil.[4] An item number was shot with actress Roja making a special appearance in the film.[5]

During the post-production stages, S. A. Chandrasekhar accused the son of veteran director K. Balachandar of trying to make illegal copies of the film. The allegations prompted Vijay to pull out of a film he had agreed to act in under Balachandar's production house.[6]

Release

The film opened to negative reviews, with the critic of Indolink.com claiming the film Chandrasekhar "screwed up the storyline part in a very major way" while mentioning that the only respite was the film's music.[7] The film became a financial failure at the box office and triggered a run of continuous unsuccessful films for Vijay such as Minsara Kanna.
