    • On 18 April 2022, Chethan Kumar announced that a Hyderabad-based team was able to recreate Puneeth’s voice using Shivrajkumar’s modulation and Puneeth’s voice samples from his previous films and hosting endeavors. Kumar announced that consequently James would be re-released in theaters with the new voice on 22 April 2022.
    • The film was released on SonyLIV on 14 April 2022 in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi and the satellite rights of the Kannada version were sold to Star Suvarna.
