On February 17, the movie's first track, Yaazha Yaazha, a solo romantic track voiced by Shruti Haasan, was released, and it quickly gained popularity. The song's creators released a video for it, which showed Shruti Haasan singing the song in Imman's studio in the company of SP Jhananathan and lyricist Yugabharathi. The makers of Laabam are reportedly planning a May release, but with COVID-19 cases on the rise and the Tamil Nadu government enforcing new lockdown restrictions, it's possible that the film will be pushed back.

When SP Jhananathan passed away on March 14, 2021, he had finished shooting the film and editing the first half. However, according to a leading outlet, the director updated the editor and composer in-depth on his vision for the movie, and Jhananathan's colleagues have guaranteed that the movie is completed in accordance with that vision. SP Jhananathan passed away after suffering a major cardiac arrest while in Chennai.
