New Delhi: Tamil star Vikram's spy-action-thriller film "Dhruva Natchathiram", which was scheduled for a release today (November 24), has been pushed further due to legal issues.
The film’s director Gautham Vasudev Menon took to X to announce that the film has been postponed. Menon said the team needs "a day or two more" to finalise the release.
He wrote, "Sorry. Unable to get 'Dhruva Natchathiram' to the screens today. We tried our best. But it looks like we need a day or two more."
He added: "Hoping to give everybody a good experience with advance bookings and proper screens everywhere around the world.
"The support for the film is heartwarming and has kept us going. Just a few days more and we'll arrive."
According to media reports, the delay was caused as Madras High Court slapped two cases against the director and his team over the release of 'Dhruva Natchathiram'.
The court had instructed the director to pay back an amount of Rs 2 crore to All In Pictures to release his film before 10.30 a.m. on November 24. As he was unable to pay the amount before the designated time, the movie's release was delayed.
The film has been in production since 2018 and has been delayed due to several reasons in the past.
