In a big setback for Suriya and Trisha Krishnan’s latest release, Karuppu, the film’s 9 am shows have been cancelled for its release day (i.e. on May 14). Recently, the producer of the film, SR Prabhu,
took to social media and confirmed the same. “Due to unavoidable reasons, 9 AM shows will be cancelled for Karuppu. Our sincere apologies to everyone!” he wrote.
While the reason for cancellation isn’t known, director RJ Balaji also took to his X handle and assured fans that all the issues regarding the film’s release will be resolved soon. “Dearest fans, I don’t 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,” he wrote.

Joseph Vijay for granting the special permission for the 9AM shows of #Karuppu. #Karuppu – FDFS begins at 9AM, from May 14th🔥A @SaiAbhyankkar Musical 🎵.”
About Karuppu
Directed by RJ Balaji, Karuppu is being billed as a fantasy action drama. The trailer of the film was released recently. It introduced a world where corrupt lawyers exploit and oppress the underprivileged. As the question arose over who would protect the helpless, Karuppusamy, the deity associated with justice, took human form to safeguard his people and restore balance.
Besides Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, the film also stars Indrans, Natty Subramaniam, Swasika, Sshivada, Anagha Maaya Ravi and others in important roles.
