Cast

Production

Roja was first choice to play the female lead before Isha Koppikar was confirmed. Vijay recommended Isha Koppikar for female role to his father, who signed her on. Vijay revealed he was impressed with her acting despite her lack of understanding of Tamil.[2][3] An item number was shot with actress Roja making a special appearance in the film because she couldn't act as female lead role.[4]

During the post-production stages, S. A. Chandrasekhar accused the son of veteran director K. Balachandar of trying to make illegal copies of the film. The allegations prompted Vijay to pull out of a film he had agreed to act in under Balachandar's production house.[5]

Release

The film released on 25 June 1999. It opened to mixed reviews,[6] with the critic of Indolink.com claiming the film Chandrasekhar "screwed up the storyline part in a very major way" while mentioning that the only respite was the film's music.[7][8] Ananda Vikatan rated the film 35 out of 100.[9]
