Release

In late 1998, Mansoor Ali Khan was arrested for causing a roadblock and obstructing traffic while protesting against pirated reruns of the film on cable television.[4] His activity led to film distributor Chinthamani Murugesan releasing a press statement condemning the television's actions and prompted a shut down of cinema halls across Pondicherry for one day.[5] He later filed a police complaint about the matter at Orleanpet police station and in 2001, the court sentenced two involved men to two years' imprisonment each and ordering them to pay a fine of Rs.5 lakh for illegal streaming. In 2007, the court sentenced the two persons to six months' imprisonment each and ordered them to pay a fine of Rs. 3 lakh in a case of copyright infringement.[6] Two years after the film's release, the producers were given a ₹5 lakh (equivalent to ₹21 lakh or US$26,000 in 2023) subsidy by the Tamil Nadu government along with several other films.[7]
