A report on BollywoodLife quoted Raju Mahalingam, creative head of Lyca Productions as saying, "As we don’t look at this film as an Indian production but a Hollywood movie, we wanted to do something different. So, we ordered for a 100-foot-tall hot air balloon eight months ago. On Tuesday, the balloon will be up over the Hollywood signage in Los Angeles."
Previously, before the release of Rajinikanth's film Kabali, several Air Aisa aircrafts were used to promote Thalaiva's film.
