Chandramohan and Devi are childless because of a problem with Chandramohan. Surya falls in love with dancer Priya (Riya Sen) and manages to steal her heart too. Just when things seem happy, a bombshell is dropped by a Sister Mary who tells Surya that he is the father of a small girl Pooja. Pooja must undergo an operation to save her life but insists on seeing her dad before agreeing to the operation. Surya agrees to pose as her dad and is forced to do so on a more permanent basis even after the operation is done. He is driven out of the house and loses Priya, who agrees to wed an earlier suitor, Shyam (Sanjay Asrani). Person who happens to be the dad of Pooja's mother wants to kill Surya for cheating his daughter but ends up being arrested by police.

The film was initially set to feature Mayuri Kango as the lead heroine, but she was later replaced by Riya Sen.[1] The entire film was shot in Thailand and Malaysia, while significant portions were shot on a cruise ship sponsored by Star Cruises.

The film score and the soundtrack were composed by director Manoj Bhatnaagar himself and the lyrics were written by Vairamuthu.[2] The soundtrack, released in December 1999, features 6 tracks with Keyaar and K. T. Kunjumon attending the audio launch function as chief guests.[3]

The film received mixed reviews from critics and did not fare well commercially at the box office.[4][5] Despite the relative failure of the film, Manoj Bhatnagar announced his next film soon after, a collaboration with actor Madhavan, which then failed to take off.[6]
