Initially planning to go with an OTT release, on the advice of the Malayalam megastar Mammootty, owing to the pandemic, the makers have finally decided to release the films in theatres.

After accumulating huge hype around the film through vigorous social media promotions and a star-studded cast, it is only fitting that the film is released on a huge scale across the globe, breaking geographical barriers.

I feel like it's a living breathing thing with a life and destiny of its own. There is nothing I haven't and wouldn't do for this film to become the best version of itself. Physically and mentally I've given it my all. I know I've said a lot of 'I's.''
