Release
The film had a low-key release during December 2002, and was later dubbed and released in Telugu on two different occasions, firstly as Super Style and then as Style 2, to capitalise on Raghava Lawrence's expanding marketability and the success of his subsequent Telugu film, Style, which was unrelated to Tamil film. The director of the film, Sibi Chakravarthy, later attempted to make a film with Dhanush titled Raghava, but financial troubles stopped the production.[5]
