The film is reported to have done average business as a result of its video release.[3]
The film was later dubbed into Tamil as Vegham in 2001, to capitalize on Madhavan's new-found fame after Alaipayuthey.[4] Madhavan expressed his disappointment at film distributors for trying to pass the project off as a straight Tamil film.[5] Golden Lotus Entertainments dubbed and released the film in Telugu as Secret Agent 786, with dialogue by Malluri Venkat and editing by Trinath.[6]
