The distributor further said that Karuppu is meant to be experienced in theatres and not watched quietly at home.

“Just like all of you, we’ve been counting the hours, desperately waiting to see him light up theatres again. This isn’t a film meant to be watched quietly at home - this is a proper theatre celebration, a whistle-loaded, goosebumps-filled mass experience made to be felt with hundreds of fans screaming his name together.”

Ahimsa Entertainment also said it remains hopeful and is praying for the film’s smooth release.

“We know how much this day means to everyone. So let’s keep the faith, positivity and prayers going a little longer. Our celebrations for Suriya na cannot end before they even begin. Idhu namma padam today.”

Karuppu 9 AM, Noon Shows Cancelled
