While sharing the video, Abhishek captioned it on Instagram, stating, "Lefty hai? Left hi hai. #GhoomerInCinemas on the 18th of August! #RBalki @azmishabana18 @saiyami @angadbedi @rude_diaries @vishalsinhadop @itsamittrivedi @raahool19 @swanandkirkire @hopeprodn #PremVijan @penmarudhar.official."

Earlier, while talking about her role, Saiyami had said, "I play the role of a left-handed bowler in Ghoomer, and, for me, in real life, I am a right-handed player. I could never actually step into the shoes of a real-life para-athlete, but even the small hurdles I had to overcome as an athlete myself reminded me of things we take for granted. Preparing and filming for Ghoomer opened my eyes in a way that I never thought would happen to go into it. It was a physically and emotionally challenging time, but my struggles were minuscule when compared to those heroes who make our country proud by participating in so many sports as para-athletes."

Ghoomer will premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne on August 12, 2023, ahead of its theatrical release. Balki and Abhishek stated in a joint statement, "It’s indeed an honour and pleasure for us that Ghoomer will be the opening film at the IFFM. Ghoomer is a story of turning adversity into an advantage. A story of innovation when faced with extermination, Ghoomer is a tribute to Sport and the reservoir of human resilience. It’s only fitting for a film that believes that sport makes life worth living’ to be launched in the Sports capital of the world, Australia, land of the MCG."
