Initially, Rohini Silver Screens had planned to organise the event outdoors, in the car parking area. However, after the Koyambedu police refused to provide security, it was moved indoors.

In recent times, theatres like the Rohini Silver Screens in Chennai have been organising movie trailer launch events outdoors. Such events usually witness a large turnout leading to traffic congestion, especially in areas like Koyambedu which have wholesale markets and cater to a huge floating population.
