This is not the first time that young actors have done impressions of Mohanlal at public events. The mannerisms and dialogue of the Lucifer actor have also been widely imitated by many young actors in their films.

The actor had already held three pre-release events: in Kochi, Chennai, and Hyderabad. This is the first time that a Malayalam film has witnessed promotion at such a grand level. The event in Hyderabad was also attended by Telugu actors Rana Daggubati and Nani.
