Fans of superstar Rajinikanth are deeply upset because the film Kochadaiyaan is not being released on 9th May as scheduled. The film is to be released on 23rd May.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, the producers of the film, Eros International, said the release has been postponed to May 23. The reason for the delay, the producers claimed, was �to cater to the demand for releasing multiple-language and 2D and 3D versions on the same day.�
However, a source close to the actor�s family said, �The film�s release has been postponed due to a court order. I cannot reveal more.� Sources said the film ran into legal hurdles after the Oriental Bank of Commerce moved a court in Chennai seeking repayment of loan running to more than 40 crore. The producers posted an announcement online saying: �Dear patrons we are sorry to inform you that �Kochadaiiyaan�, scheduled for release on May 9, has been postponed. Those of you who have purchased tickets online will get refund through respective banks.�
