=== Post-release ===
Initially the songs were not aired in radio as the film was backed by a relatively small production company and Ghibran was "relatively unknown". However, as [[A. R. Rahman]] appreciated his work, through text message helped him gain popularity. After its airplay in radio stations, [[Kamal Haasan]] who listened the song "Sara Sara Saara Kaathu", asked his assistant to buy the album, and played those tracks to [[Andrea Jeremiah]], [[Pooja Kumar]] and the crew members during the production of ''[[Vishwaroopam]]'' (2013).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-09-04 |title=On a High Note: Music Director Ghibran Interview |url=https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/features/high-note-music-director-ghibran-interview/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200823164842/https://silverscreenindia.com/movies/features/high-note-music-director-ghibran-interview/ |archive-date=2020-08-23 |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=Silverscreen India |language=en-US}}</ref> Since the crew liked them, Haasan roped into compose music for the sequel, along with three other projects: ''[[Uttama Villain]]'', ''[[Papanasam (film)|Papanasam]]'' and ''[[Thoongaa Vanam]]'' (all 2015).<ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-11-15 |title=Tune in to Ghibran |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/interview-with-ghibran/article6602906.ece |access-date=2023-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141206084508/https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/interview-with-ghibran/article6602906.ece |archive-date=6 December 2014 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> The success of the music album, also led Ghibran's debut in [[Telugu cinema]], with [[Run Raja Run|''Run Raja Run'']] (2014) as the director [[Sujeeth]] had listened to its songs and appreciated him for his compositions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-07-18 |title=Interview : Ghibran – My wife is from Vijayawada and I understand Telugu |url=https://www.123telugu.com/interviews/interview-ghibran-my-wife-is-from-vijayawada-and-i-understand-telugu.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140724064544/https://www.123telugu.com/interviews/interview-ghibran-my-wife-is-from-vijayawada-and-i-understand-telugu.html |archive-date=2014-07-24 |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=123telugu.com |language=en}}</ref>
