Suresh Kamatchi, the producer of Maanaadu, in a tweet, announced that his film will not be released tomorrow due to unavoidable reasons. "We created this work with a lot of dreams. I was eagerly awaiting the release of the film. With great pain, I inform you that the film has been postponed due to unavoidable circumstances. The new release date will be announced later. I apologise for all the inconvenience," wrote the producer.
The announcement saddened Simbu's fans, who expressed their shock on social media. However, within a few hours, it was confirmed that Silambarasan's film will be released as planned on November 25.
