Mamta Mohandas was signed on to play the female lead of Kanmani, but later opted out owing to a delay in the shoot caused by a sudden illness to Bharathiraja. [4] [5] Aditi Balan subsequently joined the film, citing her interest in working with Thangar Bachan. Several scenes from the film were shot on a schedule in Rameswaram.

The film was released on 1 September 2023 across theatres in Tamil Nadu. A reviewer from The Hindu noted "the ineffective screenwriting technique spoils this drama — starring Bharathiraja, Yogi Babu, Aditi Balan and Gautham Menon — but that doesn’t take away from the fact that filmmaker Thankar Bachan had an earnest and heart-wrenching story to tell." [8] Logesh Balachandran of Times of India wrote "The film could have been an impactful emotional drama, but ends up only being an average watch", while Navein Darshan of Cinema Express noted it was "a testing, emotionally-distant drama".
