- Star Studio18 was said to have lined up roughly 200–250 screens against an expectation of about 500, with many shows at inconvenient hours.
- Venus, led by producer Ratan Jain, withheld the re-release, and no revised theatrical date or formal next step has been announced.
- The film’s initial December 12 outing was constrained by holdover hits like Dhurandhar and Avatar: Fire And Ash, and it grossed about Rs 12.33 crore net in India per Sacnilk.
- The team had promoted the reissue as a ‘second chance,’ and some coverage suggests a possible digital premiere could be considered, though this remains unconfirmed.
