'Karuppu,' starring Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, finally reached theatres on Friday after facing unexpected release-day hurdles. The film was originally scheduled to release on May 14 with special early morning shows across Tamil Nadu. However, some screenings were abruptly canceled because of financial problems.
