Reports suggest that the makers are planning to release James on his first birth anniversary, March 17, 2022. The makers announced that they will release a special poster on January 26 at 11.11am. Director Chethan Kumar shared the announcement and wrote, “#Bolobolojames (sic).”

To honour the late actor, celebrities and distributors in the Kannada film industry have decided to let James have a solo release. No new Kannada films will release in the state for a week. This means James will have a solo release from March 17 to March 23.
