For the promotions of the film, Ajay collaborated with several internet celebrities despite not being a fan of social interactions. The Singham actor is known to be quiet averse to the idea of partying and leads a very private life. Speaking to an entertainment portal the actor said that stardom has been washed away due to social media by the actors themselves.

He further continued and recalled to the times when fans would wonder, how actors live and what they do. Ajay says, that illusion has now disappeared and the common man knows enough information about an artist due to the emergence of social media. The common man now feels connected to the stars they once idolized after realising that the stars are just like them. Ajay further added that actors should be known for their work and lesser for their social media activity.
