[edit] Box Office
- Initially scheduled for release in late 2002, this film was deferred multiple times until its release in early 2003. It opened in 210 screens worldwide. Pitted against stiff competition and crippled by poor marketing, it still grossed grossed Rs.33 million in the first week of release. [1]
- The film's Telugu rights were sold to Dr. Rajasekar for astonishing Rs.8.8 million, reports Galatta.com
- Ajith, who was then at the peak of his career, was paid a whopping salary of almost Rs.55 million for this extravagant venture. But he later waived this sum almost fully when the box office reports did not match expectations.
