Arun Nair, Head of Marketing, Sahara Movie Studios, said, `Gulaab Gang is a one-of-a-kind film, that is based on the struggle that women in India go through, and the power they can wield. With Gulaab Gang, we focused on creating campaigns that would put across the intended message and even made it fun with applications which are being well received by the users. To market a film like Gulaab Gang is a privilege and we are glad to be a part of it.`

An app called 'Rod Ij God', based on the famous dialogue 'Danda sabka peer hota hai' from the film, is a rage, where users can select friends from Facebook or upload an image of a person who they think deserves to be hit with a Rod, for their wrong doings.
Based on the idea of 'Become a part of the revolution and join Rajjo', 'Create my own Gulaab Gang' app was made. Here the user, who is the default leader, can select 4 friends, appoint them roles such as Decoy, Right-hand etc, give a name to their gang and generate a cover photo.
