After the film's release, Shoojit Sircar also took to his Instagram to share a BTS photo. He wrote about the film's classical music. He mentioned how classical music has the ability to calm a person. He wrote, "My entire shooting music album was mostly classical - Beethoven, Hariprasad Chaurasia and Vilayat khan. The calming effect of classical music takes away any jitters or nervousness and can help to decrease your heart rate and anxiety. And most importantly slows my pace and that reflects in my conduct while shooting." Sardar Udham was released on Amazon Prive Video on October 16.
