Twenty years after its first release, the movie—which starred Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha in the key roles—was rereleased in a few theaters.

Actor Dhamu discussed the movie, stating, “The movie Ghilli was released 20 years ago. In the movie, I portrayed Otteri. The movie is now being successfully re-released after 20 years.

People are honoring the release of the film Ghilli, which came out 20 years ago, by whistling. However, many individuals are now receiving shade from the tree that was planted 20 years ago. He said in irritation, “Have you ever whistled and celebrated those who planted the tree?”

According to reports, the movie debuted in 320 Tamil Nadu theaters and quickly gained popularity across the state. Ghilli earned Rs 4.25 crore at the state box office on its first day of sales.
