The trailer of the film captures the surreal world Lijo Jose has created for the new film. Having being premiered at the IFFK 2021 earlier this year, the film is now set to have a digital release.
In addition to its Indian premiere, the film was screened in the Gala section of the Tokyo International Film Festival in September. The film was also nominated for the 15th Asian Film Awards alongside Koozhangal and The Disciple.
