Production

V. Natarajan, a Pondicherry businessman, directed, acted and produced the film under his banner Natarajan Films with Sudeep, Swatika and Preethi Varma in other roles.^[1] Swathi (changed her name to Swathika for the film), was supposed to play the heroine according to director Natarajan but was given an irrelevant character while Preeti Varma was cast as the heroine. She was mad at the makers of the film for not including her in the film's promotions.^{[citation needed]}

Soundtrack

The music is composed by Soundaryan.^[2] Lyrics by V. Natarajan.

• "En Manathu Oram"
• "Chellapa Chellapa"
• "Sight Adicha"
• "Jigu Jigu"

Reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "But the film has turned out to be not so bad, with a fairly tolerable script and treatment, and with Natarajan playing his role with sincerity. [...] Swatika, neglected by the industry, performs fairly competently her role as Chitra who holds a torch for boss Nataraj. Vadivelu's comedy is enjoyable and is much better than in many of his earlier films".^[1]

The film is occasionally shown on Raj TV.^[3][4] After this film, Natarajan was to make a film with a leading Tamil actor, but no film ever materialised.^[5] Natajaran later produced and starred in the low-key film Gaja (2009) under the stage name of V. N. R.^[6]
