The production company, Da Huang Pictures stated that the film is scheduled to release in Kuala Lumpur first and then travel to other cities and towns in Malaysia.

“I am happy and very proud that the film will be screened in Malaysia and I wish that audiences will come and support this genre defying artistic work,” Woo aid.

For Kuala Lumpur, director Tan Chui Mui chose to show the film in LFS Coliseum, an 100-year-old standalone theatre situated in Jalan Tuaku Abdul Rahman, which was completed in 1920.
