A phone conversation allegedly showing Darshan bad-mouthing the media for putting every aspect of his life under scrutiny had gone viral earlier. Following the incident, many leading news channels boycotted the promotional events of Kranti. Darshan and his team have reached out to online media platforms and social media influencers to spread the word about Kranti among the public. Sunday's event saw the release of the song titled Bombe Bombe, which is the second single track to release from the film's music album. The first single was Dharani. V. Harikrishna has written and directed Kranti. He has also scored the music for the film. Besides Darshan, the film also stars Rachita Ram, Ravichandran and Sumalatha. And it's due in cinemas in January.
