Silva was initially keen to debut with a comedy film but made 'Chithirai Sevvaanam' at the request of his friend A. L. Vijay, who also wrote and produced the film.
Release
The film was directly released on ZEE5 on 3 December 2021 and received mixed reviews. A critic from Sify.com called the film a "a decent watch for its core theme but the execution is average." In their review, the Times of India noted "'Chithirai Sevvanam' is a well intentioned movie that talks about the perils of technology and how women are easy targets. Loosely based on the Pollachi sexual harassment and extortion case, the movie does have its moments as it addresses the issue but fails largely due to the draggy melodrama". The NewsMinute called it "a well-intentioned but confused film on sexual violence".
