The film was released on a low profile without any advertisement but after the first days the film started running to packed houses just through 'word of mouth'. More than 60 distributors saw the film and hesitated to screen it because of its tragic ending. Bala made his directorial debut with Sethu in 1999, that gave a break to Vikram, the film's lead actor, who was also struggling in the Tamil film industry for almost a decade without a hit and recognition.
