Production
The film gained media attention prior to release, owing to the lead actor Gajesh's debut. He is the son of actor-dancer Anand Babu and grandson of comedian Nagesh.[2] Following the appearance of late actor Nagesh's animation in Kochadaiiyaan (2014), the director insisted on having a sequence in his film, where all three generations of the family appear in one scene through computer imagery.[3] The film was shot mainly in Tamil Nadu, in places such as Tiruchi and Kanyakumari.[4]
Release
The film had a limited release across Tamil Nadu on 31 October 2014, owing to the presence of bigger budget films at the box office. It opened to mixed reviews with a critics noting the film "is the kind of story that Tamil cinema had beaten to death in the 90s."[5] Another reviewer noted that the film had a dated feel and called it "excruciatingly long".[6][7]
