Karuppu, starring Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, finally hit theaters on Friday after facing unexpected hurdles on the release day. The film was scheduled to release on May 14 with special early morning screenings across Tamil Nadu.
However, some shows were suddenly canceled due to financial problems. After many talks and postponements, the producers resolved the issue, and the film finally began its morning showings on May 15.
Netflix She got an OTT deal ‘Karuppu’.
Even as the theatrical drama has attracted attention online, discussions about an OTT release of ‘Karuppu’ have also started trending strongly. According to Filmibeat, Netflix has acquired the digital streaming rights of the film at a reasonable price.
While there is still no official confirmation from the makers or the platform, sources suggest that the film could hit OTT nearly four weeks after its theatrical release.
Initially, reports linked the film with Amazon Prime Video, but the recent buzz strongly suggests Netflix has become the eventual streaming partner. Movie lovers who couldn’t watch the theatrical release due to the delay have been eagerly waiting for the official OTT release announcement.
‘Karuppu’ release delayed
The sudden cancellation of the show was very confusing for both the audience and the theater owners on the day of release. Fans had already booked their tickets to watch their favorite stars perform on screen, and some even traveled long distances for this reason. Fans took to social media to share emotional posts about how they responded to the turn of events. However, hope began to return once news emerged that all required payments had been made.
