Suriya and Trisha's much-awaited film Karuppu has received special permission from the Tamil Nadu government to screen five shows per day, but only for the first two days of its theatrical run.
The special approval allows theatres across the state to begin screenings as early as 9 AM on both May 14 and May 15, giving exhibitors an additional show slot to meet the expected high demand for the film.

While early morning screenings are common in several Indian states, theatres in Tamil Nadu have largely avoided them in recent years due to law and order concerns linked to intense fan celebrations around major releases.
