Production[edit]
In September 2019, film editor B. Lenin and director E. V. Ganesh Babu chose to collaborate on a project titled Kattil, based on a story written by Lenin.[1] Srushti Dange was signed on to play a pivotal role, with the shoot taking place across Karaikudi, Pollachi and Palakkad in late 2019.[2][3] The film notably marked the debut of theatre-person and producer Geetha Kailasam.[4][5] The shoot of the film was completed in January 2021.[6]
Following delays, the team prepared the film for release in 2023, and dubbed the film in Telugu and Kannada as Mancha.[7]
Release and reception[edit]
The film had a theatrical release on 8 December 2023 across Tamil Nadu. A critic from The Hindu gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars, praising the story.[8] A reviewer from Vikatan noted that it was an "emotional tale let down by poor making".[9]
