The release of Suriya and Trisha-starrer Karuppu has encountered significant hurdles, with multiple shows canceled across Tamil Nadu due to financial disputes. The action drama, directed by RJ Balaji, faced cancellations for its 9 am, noon, and matinee screenings on its scheduled release day, with evening shows also being called off by several theaters.
Amidst the release troubles, actor Dhanush publicly expressed his support for the film, tweeting his hope for a resolution that would allow Karuppu a proper theatrical run. Director RJ Balaji also addressed fans, acknowledging the ongoing challenges and expressing faith in overcoming them, a sentiment echoed by theater owners.
Reports suggest that pending financial settlements are the cause of these delays. The film had already amassed Rs 7.2 crore in advance bookings for its opening day. Karuppu marks the reunion of Suriya and Trisha after their 2005 film Aaru and features a large ensemble cast.
