Tamil Nadu Minister for School Education, Tamil Development and Information & Publicity, Raj Mohan, attended the launch as chief guest and formally inaugurated the project. The event was also attended by filmmaker H. Vinoth and actor Ravi Mohan, who extended their wishes to the cast and crew. Harshavarthan, who previously worked as an associate director under H.
