Production
The team released a press note prior to release announcing that they would be the first Tamil film to feature fragrances throughout the film. The decision was taken in a bid to curb piracy and the team revealed that they had prepared smells of rose petals, camphor, sambrani and jasmine to be released with scenes. Babu Ganesh also hoped to make the feat reach the Guinness Book of Records, and explained the trick used would be a simple adaptation of the aerosol principle. During the making of the film, actress Ravali fell out with Babu Ganesh regarding her payment. She subsequently approached the Nadigar Sangam and the organisation's president Vijayakanth helped settle her dues.

Release
The fragrance gimmick used by the producers received negative feedback from audiences.
