Production[edit]

After directing the controversial film Kaatrukkenna Veli (2001), Pugazhendhi Thangaraj had this time chosen to make a film whose story is based on love and affection between a brother and sister.[1] Singer cum actor Yugendran signed to play the lead role while Kutty Radhika, who made her acting debut in the national award-winning Eiyarkai (2003), was selected to play the heroine. The film also starred Vignesh in the lead role playing the role of a loving brother.[2] "This film will not be caught inside any controversy", said the director. He also said that the exposure of glamour in the film will be in an acceptable fashion. Bharadwaj composed the music and the cinematography was by Pavan Sekhar. The film was shot in Ooty and Munnar and is nearing completion.[3][4]

Release[edit]

Balaji Balasubramaniam of bbthots.com wrote, "the film has a flimsy story, weak characters behaving in illogical ways and uncharismatic actors".[7] Malini Mannath stated, "The performances are bad, to say the least, particularly Vignesh, normally a competent performer, but who's given one of his worst performances to date here" and criticized the "hasty scripting and shoddy narration".[8]

The film bombed at the box-office and actress Kutty Radhika wasn't paid the full amount of her salary for her performance in the film.[9]
