The fantasy drama was initially set to release during Sankranthi 2025 but was postponed to give preference to Ram Charan Game Changer. The makers were aiming for a May 9 2025 release but a slight change has occurred and the release date is yet to be finalized. This delay is primarily due to the fact that the OTT platform for the film is still not locked.
