Talking about the film’s limited box office collection, Mohanlal said, “We've released only 3D prints, and that was the best decision. People ask, 'Why didn't you also have a 2D [version]?' But why should we? People should enjoy this experience first, and if it's necessary, we have 2D prints available as well. So, this is not [for] the number or the money. I want to make something and give it to the audience. This is a gift for them, for their respect and love [they have given] for the last 47 years. This is a gift, an offering from me to them. I have given a children-friendly film that families can watch together. It will also tickle the child in you.”
