In a major setback for its distributors, the Telugu version of Vijay’s Puli is not going to release today in the Telugu speaking states. Also, there is no official confirmation regarding the release of the Tamil version as the financial issues are yet to be sorted out. Reports from Tamil Nadu state that the makers are trying for a smooth release atleast by the noon shows. Even Vijay has also intervened and trying his best to release the film at any cost by afternoon.
The drama started yesterday morning as the IT officials of Tamil Nadu raided the houses and offices of the top stars like Vijay, Samantha and few others stating that they found irregularities in the finances spent on the making of this high budget film. The raids are continuing even today and this is said to be one of the major reasons for the delay in the film’s release.
Starring an ensemble cast in the form of Vijay, Shruti Haasan, Hansika and few others, the film was produced by SKT Studios. The Telugu rights were bought by SVR Media Pvt Ltd.
