In several old television roundtable interviews (particularly on Sun TV and Kalaignar TV), the young Simbu and Nayanthara appeared together during Vallavan promotions.

Despite the heavy media scrutiny and a painful breakup, their ability to reunite for Idhu Namma Aalu set a benchmark for professionalism in the South Indian film industry. Today, their joint filmography stands as a nostalgic time capsule of 2000s and 2010s Tamil cinema, celebrated through viral videos that keep their on-screen partnership alive for newer generations of film lovers.

Vallavan became widely remembered not just for its content but for its off-screen impact. According to numerous reports, it was during the filming of this movie that Simbu and Nayanthara began a romantic relationship. Their relationship became a major source of gossip for the Tamil film industry. The film's early promotional posters, which showed the actors in a provocative pose, were also met with strong objections from women's welfare organizations. Although the relationship eventually ended, the controversy was reignited in 2014 when private photos of the couple were leaked online, shocking the industry.
