A sequel to his earlier film Krodham (1982), Prem Menon began work on the project during 1999 after returning from an alternate career in business in London. The film was shot in Salem, Chennai and Kerala.[1][2][3] Prem was inspired to make a rare sequel in Tamil cinema after being inspired by Hollywood actions films.

Release and reception[edit]

The film opened in September 2000 to mixed reviews, with Balaji Balasubramaniam from BBthots.com stating, "the first half, with its racy screenplay, high-tech gadgetry and clever ideas, moves surprisingly fast and keeps us entertained", but "the second half is so full of tired cliches and overwrought sentiments".[6] Likewise, Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote the film "begins with engrossing and sophisticated action from the word `go' which continues till the end of the first half, but action tapers into melodrama and tedium, especially in the last few scenes".[7] Malini Mannath wrote in Chennai Online, "The first half of the film keeps one engaged with its racy narration and clever use of gadgetry and computer graphics. But the second half is a long drawn out affair".[8] The film did not perform well at the box office.[9]
