Release After Delays

Suriya and Trisha Krishnan starrer 'Karuppu' has finally opened in theatres after much delay. Earlier this week, the film's morning shows were cancelled.

Producer SR Prabu took to X in the early hours of May 14 and apologised to audiences for the sudden cancellation. Sharing the update about the "unavoidable reasons" behind the delay, he wrote, "Due to unavoidable reasons 9 am shows will be cancelled for Karuppu. Our sincere apologies to everyone!"

Director-actor RJ Balaji had also spoken about the hurdles surrounding the film and said the producers were trying their best to solve the issue before release. Talking about the problems faced by the film over the last 32 months, RJ Balaji wrote, "Dearest fans, I dont have a concrete answer to the current situation. Producers are doing their best to solve the hurdles. This film has always had hurdles, and somehow God has made us sail through all that and here we are after 32 months. This time as well, I have faith, complete faith, in him."
