Production

The title of the film was inspired by C. Rudraiah's 1978 feminist drama Aval Appadithan, and served as a separate film, rather than a sequel. The shoot of the film was completed in a single location within ten days. Lawyer-activist Sneha Parthibaraja, who had earlier received media attention for becoming the first Indian to obtain an official 'no caste, no religion' certificate', was cast in the lead female role.

Reception

The film was released on 21 July 2023 across theatres in Tamil Nadu. A critic from Dina Thanthi gave the film a positive review, praising the way the makers had shown female independence and social responsibility. A reviewer from Kumudam, in contrast, gave the film a negative review.
