A Pan-Indian release
The movie is scheduled to hit theatres this March and will be dubbed in all major Indian languages. However, its release faced a setback due to a dispute over distribution rights between co-producers Aashirvad Cinemas and Lyca Productions.
Thankfully, the issue was resolved when Sree Gokulam Movies stepped in and acquired the rights from Lyca for an undisclosed amount. Sree Gokulam Movies will oversee the Tamil distribution of the film, Hombale Films will handle the Kannada version, Sri Venkateswara Creations will be responsible for the Telugu version, and AA Films will manage the Hindi version.
