This movie created a milestone by releasing simultaneously in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.

Hassan calls this movie one of the finest creations of veteran filmmaker Bhadran. It created a buzz as the mega action thriller in which lady superstar Vijayasanthi shared screen space with Supreme Star Suresh Gopi. Movie Yuvathurki (Delhi Diary in Telugu), produced by Amitab Bachchan’s ABCL was Suresh Gopi's biggest movie that came out in the action genre. These movies had the ability to be sold in any markets,' explains Hassan.

His stardom has found multiple markets for his films. Suresh Gopi rightly earned the position of a complete south superstar. An actor from Kerala had risen as one of the 5 actors (Kamal Haasan, Rajnikant, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Suresh Gopi) whose movies had a pan South Indian appeal in the 1990s. After the success of Highway, many older Malayalam movies in which Suresh appeared in supporting roles too were marketed in the Tamil and the Telugu industries. It had created a massive hype in Andhra even before it hit the theatres. Similarly, Highway too was a blockbuster. The movie Kashmiram was a big hit under the title New Delhi. 'It was big news at that time when the Tamil and Telugu rights of the movie Thakshashila were sold even before its shooting began.
