Following Income Tax raids on Tamil superstar Vijay and the producers of his much-awaited film Puli on Wednesday, the film’s release was delayed on Thursday.
While Puli was eventually released in Tamil Nadu, the producer here is still having financial problems and since there is no clarity as to when the financial issues will be sorted out, the film's release is also in a dilemma.
On the other hand, the film has got mixed reviews in Tamil. So now the producers are contemplating between releasing the film or returning the buying amounts.
Another source adds that the delay was because the producers could not clear some financial dues due to the I-T raids.
The film was supposed to be released in nearly 500 screens in both the Telugu states on Thursday.
