Earlier films in the franchise, Prem Geet and Prem Geet 2 were huge commercial success. Prem Geet 3 claims to have sold its distribution rights in India for ₹4 crore.[13] The film was renamed Vishwajitam for Hindi version,[14] but it was later changed back to Prem Geet 3.[15] The film is also set to be released in China in Chinese language.[16]

However, both releases were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic's aftermath shutting many cinemas in the country.

Prem Geet 3 broke several box-office records and grossed over रू 39 crore globally and became the all-time highest grossing Nepali film worldwide in the history of Nepalese cinema surpassing recently released Kabaddi 4: The Final Match [18][19][2]
