Sources suggest that the Rajinikanth-starrer Kabali, which was earlier slated to release worldwide on 1 July, has now been pushed to 15 July.
While the exact reason for the deferment is still unknown, The News Minutes’ sources confirmed that the decision was taken on Monday evening.
The much awaited audio launch, which was planned to be organized at the YMCA grounds in Chennai, has also been scrapped as ‘Thalaiva’ won’t be available in the country to be part of the same.
Currently holidaying in the US, Rajinikanth is said to have extended his stay, and hence, producer Thanu was left with no option but to organise a ‘soft’ launch of the album. The soundtrack will now directly hit stores around on 12 June ata round 11 am.
Meanwhile, the Telugu rights of the film were finally acquired by Shanmukha Pictures for a whopping Rs 30 crore. Both the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film will have a simultaneous release.
