The film had a low-key release during December 2002, and was later dubbed and released in Telugu on two occasions, firstly as ''Super Style'' and then as ''Style 2'', to capitalise on Raghava Lawrence's expanding marketability and the success of his subsequent Telugu film, ''[[Style (2006 film)|Style]]'', which was unrelated to Tamil film. The director of the film, Sibi Chakravarthy, later attempted to make a film with [[Dhanush]] and debutant Mamta Zaveri titled ''Raghava'', but financial troubles stopped the production.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/carnaticmusic/fullstory.php?id=13355508|title=Director drags Dhanush to court for dates|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120190816/http://www.sify.com/carnaticmusic/fullstory.php?id=13355508|access-date=28 November 2021|archive-date=20 November 2015}}</ref>
