= Home media =
The film was released on a home media as a two-part film, each part lasting 90 minutes (the first part on 5 March and the second part on 13 March 2019). This caused protests and dissatisfaction from people. Critics said this was unusual and not enough information had been provided to buyers. Finally, the film distribution company stated that the reason for this was to increase the film duration from 122 minutes to 197 minutes and to add behind-the-scenes footage.{{Cite web|date=9 March 2019|title=توضیح کارگردان "هزارپا" درباره توزیع عجیب این فیلم در شبکه نمایش خانگی|url=https://www.khabaronline.ir/news/1239302/توضیح-کارگردان-هزارپا-درباره-توزیع-عجیب-این-فیلم-در-شبکه-نمایش|access-date=21 August 2021|website=خبرآنلاین|language=fa}}
