The film released on 2 June 2007 across Karnataka to positive response from the critics. However upon release, the film generally met with average reviews from audiences.[1] The core storyline of the movie - the protagonist, a well-known person in his/her profession, fearing that he/she is being targeted by an unknown person who wants to kill him/her for his/her past unknown deeds, hiring a detective/bodyguard who in turn fakes few attacks on the protagonist to gain his/her confidence and finally the original assailant turning out to be a person very close to the protagonist - is loosely based on Sidney Sheldon's first novel The Naked Face (1970).[2]
