Karuppu release delay

Karuppu was initially slated for release on May 14. However, just hours before its release, the makers revealed that the film was facing certain issues and assured fans that efforts were underway to resolve them at the earliest. Reports later suggested that the delay stemmed from unpaid dues amounting to Rs 10 crore. While only the morning shows were cancelled initially, it soon became evident that the film’s release would be pushed until the issues were fully sorted out. The development came just days after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay granted special permission for 9 am shows in the state.
The issues were eventually resolved, and the film finally hit theatres on May 15.
