Manisharma released the audio cassette while A.R.Rahman launched the audio CD and presented the same to Devi Sri Prasad and Murali Mohan, respectively.

“It was Raj-Koti who took me into their group after I came out of Ilayaraja’s troupe in 1986.” A.R.Rahman spoke of the musical duo Raj-Koti “I took a big risk and a bank loan to buy my own musical instruments. I am very grateful to Raj-Koti for lending me their support. The duo composed very good music still most of their tunes are unheard off as they were way ahead of their time.” About singer Mano and Somhberi the little master said “I have heard the story of Sombheri. The movie has very good emotional values. Mano was the singer who sang the first song for me after I started my own studio in 1999. I wish the unit of Somberi all the best”.
