The team of Tik Tik Tik has been promoting the film, stating that it is India's first-ever space film. But a section of the audience claimed that MGR's Kalai Arasi is the first-ever space film.

Now, Pradeep.E.Ragav, the editor of Tik Tik Tik, has taken to clarify the rumour. He tweeted, "Contrary to few reports #KalaiArasi is not the first space genre film of India. Having space shots doesn’t make a space film. Just as #GurardiansOfTheGalaxy is not a space film. These films have aliens & characters visiting fictional planets, & are SciFi Fantasy films. #TikTikTik"
