The movie was also nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the New York Film Critics Award in 1998 and secured the same award at the National Society of Film Critics Awards, USA, the following year.

Meanwhile, the upcoming release Gentleman 2 is creating anticipation among fans. The original Gentleman, directed by Shankar, made waves in 1993. The sequel promises new elements and a fresh cast, including actresses Nayanthara Chakravarthy and Priya Lal, alongside Chethan Cheenu. The film will mark the return of veteran film producer and writer KT Kunjumon.
