With such a massive production, the promotional campaign is equally thrilling. Producer KE Gnanavel Raja planned the Hindi promotions, with exciting events across major cities in India. Bobby Deol is also expected to participate in a masterclass session with a well-known Bollywood media outlet.

Moreover, the film will only be available on OTT platforms eight weeks after its theatrical release.
