Release
The film was ready for release but no theaters were willing to screen the film citing that Raghuveer was not good looking. Ultimately, with the intervention of producer Ramu, theatre owners agreed to screen the film until Khuda Gawah (1992) starring Amitabh Bachchan released. However, soon after the release of this film, theaters had house full shows and Khuda Gawah had to delay its release in Karnataka by one month.[4][5]
