She was later christened as Kavitha by the producer before the film's release.[5]

Reception[edit | edit source]
D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "There is a new line of thinking in the core of the plot based on suspicion but the situations that go to build on that issue are inadequate. What started as an engrossing fare slowly peters out [...] Director Indran who has written the story and screenplay runs out of ideas and meekly resorts to the comedy of Vivek and Manivannan".[9] Ji of Kalki wrote despite being suited for their respective characters, acting of Suriya and Kavitha should have been better while Murali's character stays in mind and called lack of duets and lack of scope for actors not to influence the plot as notable points.[10]
Post-release[edit | edit source]
Soon after the release of the film, director Indhran teamed up with Murali for a film titled Thamirabharani co-starring Rambha in a lead role. Despite progressing through production and changing the title to Thendralai Thoodhu Viddu, the film did not have a theatrical release.[11][12]
