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. 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. The film was shot mainly in Tamil Nadu, in places such as Tiruchi and Kanyakumari.
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." Another reviewer noted that the film had a dated feel and called it "excruciatingly long".
