==Production==
[[Keyaar]] had planned to make the film with [[Prashanth]] during 1996, but the actor's commitments to [[S. Shankar|Shankar]]'s ''[[Jeans (film)|Jeans]]'' (1998), meant that he could not allot dates to start the project.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/soc.culture.tamil/c/ibv76-CAjoA Tamil Movie News--Pudhu Edition 3] Retrieved 15 July 2021.</ref> Consequently, Bhaskar of Oscar Movies signed [[George Vishnu]], the son of former actress [[Sheela]] to debut in his production, ''Kadhal Rojavae'' in 1997 and according to the deal signed, Vishnu was not supposed to act in any other film until ''Kadhal Rojavae'' had been completed and released. However, during production, Vishnu could not wait and starred in a Malayalam film, while [[Kothanda Ramaiah|Keyaar]] was still shooting causing a rift between the actor and producer Bhaskar during the making of the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/People/97/Dec/kuttisp1.htm|title=1997-98 Kodambakkam babies Page|publisher=Indolink.com|accessdate=25 August 2012|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303201551/http://indolink.com/tamil/cinema/People/97/Dec/kuttisp1.htm|archivedate=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Pooja Kumar]], who was crowned [[Miss India USA]] in 1995, was selected to make her debut as heroine and during production she was signed and dropped from other Tamil films of the period including ''[[V. I. P. (film)|V. I. P]]'' and ''[[Chinna Raja]]''. The actress notably returned more than a decade later starring in the lead role in [[Kamal Haasan]]'s bilingual ''[[Vishwaroopam]]''. ''Kadhal Rojavae'' released after a delay in production in 2000.

==Release==
The film opened in January 2000 to mixed reviews with Savitha of [[The Hindu]] mentioning "Both the newcomers have a long way to go in honing their acting skills". The critic also added that "the high point of the film is the music by Ilaiyaraja. The same can be said about the background score that lifts the mood of the film to some extent."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hindu.com/2000/01/21/stories/09210225.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130213141106/http://hindu.com/2000/01/21/stories/09210225.htm|url-status=dead|archivedate=13 February 2013|title=Film Review:''Kadhal Rojavae''|date=21 January 2000|work=[[The Hindu]]|accessdate=25 August 2012}}</ref> The film went largely unnoticed at the box office due to low profile nature of the cast.
