They finally released the film on the same day as the movie "1971".This was because both movies were based on the same subject, prisoners of war. The producers of Sarhad Paar did not want the audience to watch 1971 first. Because if they did, they would have not watched Sarhad Paar.
Chandrachur Singh was completely removed from all the publicity with more preference given to villain Rahul Dev. This was due to the producers feeling the audience would know the film was long in the making if they saw Chandrachur Singh on the posters.
