Balachander approached T. Rajender to portray a guest role in the film which he rejected. Kushboo's character was named Sriranjani, after the carnatic raga of the same name.
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express called it "a total let down. The script just meanders with various subplots that gets linked whenever the director happens to remember each of them".
