Production
Music director S. S. Kumaran made his directorial debut with this film. Adith Arun and Reshmi Menon, who previously starred in Inidhu Inidhu together, collaborate again for this film.[1] The film is a romantic story with no violence.[2] After screening the film to a select group of people, the film was trimmed based on their feedback.[1] Kumaran wanted M. S. Bhaskar to portray the heroine's father, but he was replaced by Prabhakar, an associate of Sasi, due to the film's low budget. Kumaran had previously collaborated with Sasi in Poo.[2] Adith Arun practiced his Tamil and dubbed for his character in the film.[3]

Release and reception
The film released on July 1, 2011.[1] A critic from Kungumam wrote that although Kumaran, who is known as a music composer, is a bit behind in that work, he has directed it in a way that makes one forget that he is a debut director.[5] A critic from Dinamalar wrote that if the film could have had a little more color, fragrance and character, it could have impressed everyone.[6]
