The Tamil thriller 'Karuppu', featuring actors Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, was set to release in theatres on May 14, generating significant excitement among fans. However, just hours before the film's scheduled morning shows, producer SR Prabhu announced via social media that the 9 AM screenings would be cancelled due to 'unavoidable reasons', without further explanation. This abrupt decision left many fans frustrated, as they had lined up early to watch the film. In response to the cancellation, fans took to social media to express their anger and confusion, questioning whether the cancellations applied only to Tamil Nadu or if similar issues would affect other regions like Kerala. They criticized the lack of clarity from the producers, with some fans wondering if the film's makers had secured the necessary permissions from the state government before announcing the early shows. This situation was particularly surprising given that the film's producers had previously thanked Chief Minister Vijay for granting permission for the early morning screenings. Directed by RJ Balaji, 'Karuppu' is produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and had generated considerable buzz prior to its release.
