Vanna Kanavugal is the feature film debut of Anand.[9]
Vanna Kanavugal was released on 9 July 1987.[10] The Indian Express wrote, "Karthik has shown that he can play the tough guy too".[11] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki appreciated the lack of songs, the dialogues and outdoor photography, but felt many unnecessary characters were abundant.[6] Though Ameerjan was sceptical about the film's commercial viability, given its lack of songs, the film was a success and ran for over 100 days in theatres.[3]
