The film was released on 14 December 2001 and performed well at the box office. Notably, this was the first and only Tamil film of Khanna and remains the only collaboration between music director Harris Jeyaraj and Prashanth.

Production

Murali Manohar signed on actor Prashanth to appear in the fourth successive production for his studio, following the successes of their previous collaborations Jeans, Kaadhal Kavithai (1998) and Jodi (1999). Director Ravichandran, who had delivered a commercially successful film with Prashanth through Kannedhirey Thondrinal (1998), was chosen to direct Manohar's next production.

The team shot scenes in North India, while Prashanth was injured during the making of the film, delaying it temporarily. The art director Yogamahi designed a lavish set in a studio for a song shooting costing Rs.10 lakh, with a Rajasthani ambiance created with 200 people working on it. The song Gulmohar Malare was shot in Colmar Tropicale, a French Themed village in Malaysia.
