[20] It created great controversy and was banned by the Indian government on the grounds of sexual profanity. [21] Khan remarked, "Forget about the ban and people taking out morchas (protests) against me and burning my posters in Bombay. At the end of it people from the creative field have loved it."

[30] Silambarasan, the film's lead actor, who had previously signed and then dropped her for a role in his film Kettavan, called her again for the female lead role in Silambattam after seeing her ad with Shah Rukh Khan. [7] She said in an interview with The Hindu , "Silambarasan came to Mumbai looking for a fresh face for his film Silambattam. There he saw me and selected me. I knew I had to work hard to make it big in the Tamil film industry". [2] Khan regards the film as her first break. [2] She received praise for her portrayal of Janu, a talkative, tomboyish brahmin village girl, [7] and won the 2009 ITFA Best New Actress Award in Singapore. [31] [32]
