She earned up to ₹1 lakh (equivalent to ₹1.7 lakh or US$2,000 in 2023) per day for her role in the film.[3] Sundarrajan's son Ashok, also made his debut as an actor with the project.[4]

M. Suganth from The Times of India wrote, "If this had been a first-timer's film, we would have felt pity but coming from a veteran, who has given us at least half-a-dozen memorable films, we feel cheated."[4] Arjun was nominated for the Best Child Actor award at the 3rd South Indian International Movie Awards.[6][better source needed]
