The first release date set for the film had been August 2004 although this was passed due to the delays of Ajith's other films at the time – "Attagasam" and "Jana". Subsequently, several release dates were mentioned across late 2004 and then a promotional spree began signalling that the film would be released on 14 January 2005. Trisha's other commitments had left three songs unshot and the film was postponed from that date to 4 February. It later released on 11 February 2005.
