Actors Trisha Krishnan and Suriya’s highly anticipated film “Karuppu” hit a roadblock just hours before its release on Wednesday night after the movie's scheduled 9 am shows were cancelled.
The announcement disappointed many fans who had already planned to watch the film on opening day.
Producer SR Prabu took to X in the early hours of Thursday and apologised to audiences for the sudden cancellation.
Sharing the update about the "unavoidable reasons" behind the delay, he wrote, "Due to unavoidable reasons 9am shows will be cancelled for Karuppu. Our sincere apologies to everyone!"
Earlier, 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, 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."
The trailer for the film was recently launched by makers. It gives fans a glimpse into an emotional courtroom drama mixed with action. The trailer begins with an elderly man and his granddaughter struggling for justice as they continue visiting the court for years.
Trisha plays a lawyer fighting their case, while RJ Balaji appears on the opposite side. Suriya's character later enters as a fearless man who fights both inside and outside the courtroom.
Written and directed by RJ Balaji, “Karuppu” also stars Indrans, Natty, Swasika, Sshivada, Anagha Maya Ravi and Supreeth Reddy in pivotal roles. The film's music has been composed by Sai Abhyankkar.
