It subsequently became a commercial success at the box office, effectively launching the careers of Sherin and Dhanush.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2002/jul/23thull.htm |title=Movies: The Rediff Review: Thulluvatho Ilamai |work=rediff.com |date=2002-07-23 |access-date=2019-10-13}}</ref> The actress won the [[Cinema Express Awards|Cinema Express Award]] for Most Popular Actress for her performance, while she later went on to star in the Telugu remake titled ''[[Juniors (film)|Juniors]]'' (2003).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/kannathil-muthamittal-bags-6-cinema-express-awards/article27887290.ece |title='Kannathil Muthamittal' bags 6 Cinema Express awards - TAMIL NADU |work=The Hindu |date=2002-12-22 |access-date=2019-10-13}}</ref> Sherin then appeared in supporting roles alongside senior actresses [[Ramya Krishnan]] in ''[[Jaya (film)|Jaya]]'' (2002) and [[Simran (actress)|Simran]] in ''[[Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi]]'' (2003), and also garnered attention for her negative role in the horror film ''[[Whistle (2003 film)|Whistle]]'' (2003) and her role opposite debutant [[Sibi Sathyaraj]] in ''[[Student Number 1]]'' (2003).<ref>{{cite web|author=Friday Review |url=https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/07/04/stories/2003070401120200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030902043129/http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/07/04/stories/2003070401120200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2003-09-02 |title="Whistle" - CHEN |date=2003-07-04 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2019-10-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=HostOnNet.com |url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_student_no1.php |title=BizHat.com - Student No:1 Review.
