Why The Film Didn’t Release Yesterday
Vishnu Kamal, the film’s distributor, explained on his X handle that the shows were cancelled due to financial issues from the producers’ side. He stated, “Due to financial issues from the producers’ side, the 9:00 a.m. (Screen 1) and 9:30 a.m. (Screen 2) Shows of #Karuppu have been cancelled. Refunds for all bookings were initiated at midnight and will be processed shortly.”
He added, “We are currently awaiting clarity regarding the 12:00 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. noon shows. Let’s hope for the best.” Shortly after, he posted an update confirming that the noon and matinee shows would be cancelled, and refunds would be processed soon.
The message read, “Just received a call from the distributor @SakthiFilmFctry informing us that #Karuppu’s release is now expected only from this evening. Hence, the noon & matinee shows will be cancelled, and refunds will be initiated shortly.”
He concluded with, “This is truly heartbreaking for everyone who had been eagerly waiting to watch the film today. We completely understand the disappointment and share the same sadness with you all. Hoping things get sorted soon and the wait ends on a positive note.”
Chain Of Events
Several multiplex chains in Tamil Nadu also announced the cancellation of shows via their social media accounts. Tensions escalated when reports emerged that Karuppu was screened illegally in Mumbai, Pune, and Varanasi by Qube without the producer’s approval. SR Prabhu, co-owner of Dream Warrior Pictures, along with the company’s legal team, issued a public notice to prevent piracy issues similar to what affected Vijay’s Jana Nayagan before its release. Dream Warrior Pictures also shared a legal notice on their social media, warning fans against sharing or circulating leaked clips from Karuppu.
