In a video shared by Fazil, he recounted an interesting conversation with Mohanlal about the film's release date. Mohanlal casually asked him to announce the date, and when Fazil inquired, Mohanlal revealed that it would be December 25, 2024. Fazil, who was struck by the coincidence, realized that the date held special significance. Barroz will release on the same date as two of Mohanlal’s iconic films—Manichitrathazhu and Manjil Virinja Pookkal, both of which also premiered on December 25th. Fazil described the alignment as "divine blessing" and a "perfect alignment" of fate as the date wasn't pre-determined.
