The film marked the directorial debut of Azhagu Rajasundaram, who had previously apprenticed under directors Pandiarajan and Vikraman for fifteen years.[2] Produced by V. K. Riaz Ahmed, Mumtaz's manager, the film's story was based around two real life incidents — the murder of a lawyer in bright daylight and the accident in which 40 individuals were killed.[3]

Soundtrack

Soundtrack was composed by Deva.[4][5] The song "Gudu Guduppu" is loosely based on Hindi song "Babuji Zara Dheere" from Hindi film Dum.[citation needed]

Release

[edit]

The film had a low profile release on 19 December 2003.[6] Chennai Online wrote "Finally, don't go by the title or it's heroine. For, it's a fairly serious and realistic film, socially relevant, at times heart-rending too. Though for hard-core Mumtaz fans who'd expect to see 'more' of her here, it may be a slight disappointment!".[7]
