The film's soundtrack was composed by Ramana Gogula, while the background score was composed by Devi Sri Prasad. It is the Tamil remake of the director's own Telugu film Thammudu (1999).

The film had a theatrical release on 12 April 2001 and was a commercial success, completing a 100-day theatrical run at the Tamil Nadu box office.
