Actor Darshan released the trailer of the film in early October 2015.[3] The film released on 12 November 2015.[4] The introduction of the character Boiling Star Bablu spoofs the hero introduction scene of Mr. and Mrs. Ramachari and the same character spoofs the interval fight sequence of Veera Madakari in the climax of the film.
