Suriya and Trisha's Karuppu Finally Hits Theatres After Controversial Delays
Karuppu's Release Amid Controversies
The much-anticipated film Karuppu, featuring Suriya and Trisha Krishnan and directed by RJ Balaji, has officially premiered in theatres today, May 15. The film's release was marred by several controversies, primarily due to unexpected delays linked to financial disputes. Originally, special screenings were planned after the newly appointed Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu approved 9 AM shows, but these were ultimately cancelled, leading to refunds for fans who had booked tickets.
Despite the excitement surrounding its global theatrical release, the film faced last-minute cancellations of early morning shows across Tamil Nadu. However, it has now finally made its debut in cinemas, and clips of RJ Balaji reacting to the film's screening are trending online.
