- Film ‘Karuppu’ release postponed due to unresolved issues.
- Theaters across India and Europe cancelling shows.
- Makers aiming for a Friday release, refunds issued.
Karuppu, starring Trisha Krishnan and Suriya, will not hit theatres on Thursday as the makers are now reportedly eyeing a Friday release. The film has also been postponed in the United Kingdom and Europe due to what the distributor, Ahimsa Entertainment, described as “unresolved issues”.
Karuppu NOT Releasing Today
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the distributor wrote, “An update we never wanted to write. Our note on Karuppu’s release in the UK and Europe.”
It further added, “We’re very hopeful that the film will release tomorrow and will keep everyone updated the moment we have clarity,” while assuring that efforts are being made to ensure smooth screenings from tomorrow onwards.
The delay comes after the film’s special 9 AM and noon shows were earlier cancelled. Director RJ Balaji had also shared a video statement expressing hope that the film could still manage an evening release at 6 PM.
However, the film will not be released today as several theatre owners have taken to social media to confirm cancellations and announce refunds for all scheduled shows.
Ruban Mathivanan, owner of GK Cinemas in Chennai, posted, “Karuppu – All shows are cancelled today. The team is trying to release it tomorrow, and will update once Distributor confirms us. Refund is initiated for both online and counter.”
Kamal Cinemas also stated that they were awaiting “proper clarity” from the makers. “The 6:00 PM and 7:55 PM evening shows of Karuppu also stand cancelled as of now. Refunds for all bookings have already been initiated. We are still awaiting proper clarity from the producer and distributor side regarding the film’s release time. Hoping things get sorted out soon,” the note read.
In Coimbatore, Broadway Cinemas confirmed cancellation of evening and night shows. “Karuppu evening and night shows have been regrettably cancelled. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
Prasads Cinema in Hyderabad announced that refunds had been initiated for cancelled evening screenings. “Evening shows are cancelled. Your refund has been initiated. Karuppu.”
Varadaraja Cinemas’ management also wrote: “Karuppu All shows today ( 14/5/26) stay cancelled. Refund has been initiated for online Bookings. Offline bookings will be refunded at the counter. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
