Also starring Mishika Chourasia and Anupama Agnihotri, the film was released on 18 January 2019. A few months back, Govinda had claimed that he was not paid his dues in the film industry. Responding to that, Chunky said, "Why? He has ruled it. He has ruled it since like 1991, from say Shola Aur Shabnam till the mid-2000s, from there he hasn’t looked back I think. He has had the greatest run."
