The film marks Meera Jasmine's Tamil debut. Run was released on 5 September 2002 and received positive reviews from critics, prompting the film to be partially reshot in Telugu with Sunil playing Vivek's role.

Shiva lives in Srirangam who arrives at Chennai to gain admission in a college and stays with his sister and her husband. Shiva does not like his brother in law and never talks to him despite several attempts made by his sister to convince them. Shiva meets Priya during a bus journey, where he meets her on a few more occasions and proposes to her. However, Priya warns him to stop following her despite being in love with him. Shiva learns that Priya's brother Bhaskar is a local gangster who attacks when anyone follows Priya. Priya does not want Shiva to get beaten by Bhaskar and advises him to stop following her. Bhaskar's henchmen spot Shiva and Priya together and try to attack him, but Shiva thrashes them, ultimately giving courage for Priya to go against Bhaskar. Shiva's brother in law learns about Shiva's love and offers help which makes them talk to each other, much to the happiness of Shiva's sister. Bhaskar arrives to attack Shiva's family, but Shiva threatens to attack Bhaskar's family, thereby frightening him. Priya elopes with Shiva and Bhaskar chases after them along with his men where the couple are tracked down and the goons start attacking Shiva. Priya interferes and challenges Bhaskar to attack Shiva single handedly without any help of his men. Bhaskar accepts and starts attacking Shiva, but Shiva retaliates and hits back Bhaskar, who gets severely injured and lets Shiva and Priya unite with each other.

Ajith Kumar was initially considered to play the lead role. Madhavan signed the film in January 2002 after being impressed with Lingusamy's narration and through the project would made his first appearance in an action orientated role. Madhavan had wanted to do an action film after being instructed by Mani Ratnam to move away from romantic drama films and lost eight kilograms to portray the lead role. Vidya Balan was originally selected to play the lead role in the film, but was later released from her contract. The makers then signed on Raima Sen to portray the lead role before deciding to change the lead actress again after the actress struggled with the Tamil dialogues. Meera Jasmine was consequently signed on to make her first appearance in Tamil films. Atul Kulkarni was signed to play an antagonist in the film and marked a rare move for the actor towards regular antagonistic roles. Raghuvaran, Anu Hasan and Vivek were also signed on to work on the film with Vivek filming a separate comedy track. The scenes were shot at locations in Chennai, Karaikudi and Srirangam, among other places, while the songs were shot abroad in Denmark and Switzerland. The team also filmed scenes at the M. G. R. Film City in Chennai, where action sequences were filmed. The film completed production in one schedule, with Madhavan remarking about the well organised structure of the shoot.

The music was composed by Vidyasagar, with lyrics written by Na. Muthukumar, Pa. Vijay, Thamarai, Yugabharathi, Arivumathi and Viveka. The soundtrack won critical acclaim and became Vidyasagar's most successful album at the time of the release.

The release was postponed from July 2002 to September 2002 to finish off post production works, but the box office bomb of Rajinikanth starrer Baba (2002) meant that the makers were able to prepone the film to the earliest release date in September in order to avoid other competition. The makers of the film chose to release the film on Thursday instead of Friday, in order to avoid a box office clash with King (2002). The Telugu version was released on the same day as Dil (2003) since that film had a similar storyline.

Run received positive reviews from critics with praise for its music, technical aspects, acting and action sequences.

Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "The track Lingusamy has chosen could be an age old one, but the agility and youthfulness make the run interesting". Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "It is to the director’s credit that he has kept the narration fast paced and engaging with not many lagging moments". Nowrunning wrote "Director Linguswamy has given a very enjoyable film with good music by Vidyasagar and brilliant cinematography by Jeeva. Madhavan has proved in this film that he can also do action and that too convincingly". Cinema Today wrote "There is nothing new about the film's story, but Madhavan's new incarnation as an action hero and Linguswamy's racy screenplay has made this a thoroughly enjoyable experience". R Shiva Srivatsav of Angelfire wrote "The other hero in this film apart from our cute hero Madhavan is the screenplay of the movie". and into Bengali Bangladesh in 2004 as Rukhe Darao with Shakib Khan and Sahara. A film titled Kadhal Pisase, named after the song from the film, was released in 2012. A popular scene involving Madhavan closing a subway shutter was later parodied in the spoof film Thamizh Padam (2010), while it was also referred to in Vettai (2012), in which the actor and director had collaborated again.
