Production edit
The film began production in August 1999 and was revealed to be a remake of the 1996 Malayalam film, Ee Puzhayum Kadannu.[1] The film was briefly retitled as Kannan Varum Neram before the makers reverted to the original title.[2][3]
Release edit
The film released in August 2001 to mixed reviews, with a critic noting "the film might have turned into a success provided it has had a good screenplay, but the "film lacks in speed" and "Sathyan, young as he is, is unable to carry the whole film on his shoulders".[4] The film did not perform well at the box office and became Sathyan's final film as a lead actor. He subsequently chose to feature in films as a comedian.[5]
Soundtrack edit
The film's soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja[6] and released as an album during May 2000.[7]
