Recently, the theatrical rights of the film have been sold for a record-breaking price of Rs 5.60 crore to Friday Film House and Carnival Motion Pictures, two of the biggest distributors in Kerala.

Meanwhile, Theri's teaser has crossed 10 million views on YouTube, only the second Tamil film after Sankar's I to do so. Touted as a family entertainer from director Atlee, Theri stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson as well. The online booking has started a month in advance and the response so far has been terrific.
