Karuppu: One delay cause, plot and more
Karuppu faced a release-day delay due to financial disputes involving the producers. The film's morning shows, despite being approved by the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister for special shows at 9 am, were cancelled. The early morning and afternoon screenings on May 14 were cancelled due to unresolved financial settlements and dues allegedly owed by the production house, Dream Warrior Pictures, to previous financiers and distributors.

Unauthorised early screenings of the film surfaced in a few cities prior to the official release, prompting the production house to issue firm anti-piracy legal notices to protect the film's theatrical and digital rights.
Karuppu marks Suriya's and Trisha's reunion on screen after nearly 20 years. It tells the story about a corrupt courtroom and the common man. When the legal system fails, a fierce guardian descends to deliver justice.
