Actor GV Prakash Kumar took to social media to convey his praise for Diesel. The film starring Harish Kalyan in the lead, was released on October 17.

Through his X handle, GV Prakash wrote, "I watched Diesel yesterday. It is a good film that has the best intentions of the society. The efforts of the crew are commendable."

The cast for the film also includes Vinay Rai, Sai Kumar, Ananya, Karunaas, Ramesh Thilak, Kaali Venkat, Vivek Prasanna, Sachin Kedhekar, Zakir Husain, Thangadurai, KPY Dheena, and Apoorva Singh.

CE's review of the film reads, "Shanmugam Muthusamy deserves praise for his extensive research on this complex issue. That being said, how much of his research was sacrificed at the altar of commercial cinema is a different thing altogether. It is always nice to see filmmakers come up with well-researched films instead of disguising lazy writing as cinematic liberties."
