- Karuppu has special permission for five shows on May 14 and 15 only
- Theatres in Tamil Nadu can start screenings from 9 AM for the first two days
- Normal screening schedules will resume after May 15 as per government rules
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.
However, the permission is limited to just the opening two days. After May 15, theatres will return to the regular screening schedule as per standard government rules.
Special Nod For 9 Am Shows
On Tuesday evening, the makers shared the update on their official X handle alongside a photograph of Vijay at work in the Chief Minister's office.
"Special thanks to our honorable Chief Minister Thiru. Joseph Vijay for granting the special permission for the 9AM shows of #Karuppu. #Karuppu - FDFS begins at 9AM, from May 14," the post read.
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.
