Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released when Ajith was still struggling for footing, this predates his 'Thala' action-hero reinvention by three years. Fans debate whether his soft-eyed romanticism here beats his later smoldering intensity.
Sanghavi was reportedly cast after the director spotted her in a commercial; she became a brief 90s fixture before disappearing from cinema. Some say this film's modest success kept Ajith from quitting acting entirely.
