Still photographs from the film's initial photo shoot were released to the media in November 2013, earning positive reaction from critics.[4][5] Shariq, son of actors Riyaz Khan and Uma Riyaz, was also featured in the photo shoot and was announced to make his acting debut with a supporting role in the film.[6]
