Despite completing production in early 2013, the film was delayed for almost a year, before the team geared up for a theatrical release in late 2014. For promotional purposes, the team hired out jeeps featuring a doll, a pivotal character in the film, and rode around the streets of Tamil Nadu.{{Cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-14/an-masterful-promotion-from-team-sutrula.html|title=A masterful promotion plan from team Sutrula|access-date=18 December 2014|archive-date=20 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220185844/http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-14/an-masterful-promotion-from-team-sutrula.html|url-status=live}}
