The much-anticipated Tamil film Karuppu, starring Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, faced unexpected hurdles ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on Thursday. Advance bookings were halted and the special 9:00am screenings were canceled due to "unavoidable reasons," reported The Times of India.

In an emotional note, Balaji reflected on the film's long production journey.
