Production

Despite being married and the mother of a then one-year-old daughter named Nainika, Meena accepted the film offer from producer V. Doraswamy Raju as she didn't want to send a wrong signal that she is not acting anymore. She shot for the film for four days at her convenience in Bangalore, where she lived at the time.^[3][1] The first schedule of the film was shot from 19 February 2012 to 19 February. 100 prominent Arya Vysya couples were invited to the sets during the shooting of the scenes with Vasavi Kanyaka Parameshvari entering the fire.^[2]

Reception

A critic from The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "The film seeks to offer a flattering portrayal of goddess Vasavi Devi for the devotees but there is something that doesn’t click. The film fails to conjure up a single intense devotional moment and that proves to be its undoing. Everything is just too passé".^[6]
