Fahadh on film promotions

Speaking to Pinkvilla about the film and his stance of not trying to promote his films in a conventional way, the actor said, "I want the audience to talk for my films. I have worked on a film for 100 days. I find it tiring to sell the film after that. I would rather put that energy into making the film than promoting it. If the film is good, people will watch it. I don’t want people to watch my bad films.”

Fahadh on social media

Fahadh, who is also absent from social media, added why he does not want to promote his films through them. He said, "I never had a social media account. I was on Facebook in my college days and that’s all. I prefer to connect with people on a personal basis than on social media. I have always been like this, and I don't want to change."
