We have earlier reported that Spy, Nikhil Siddhartha's latest action film, will be releasing in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi in addition to Telugu. However, Nikhil has taken to social media on Wednesday morning to announce that Spy will not be releasing in multiple languages, apologising to his fans for the same. 

Citing contract/content issues, the actor explained his team's decision to rollback on a pan-India release in a statement that read, "Hello, I genuinely thank everyone of you for thronging the theatres of Spy and giving me my career biggest opening at the box office. It gives me immense happiness to know the amount of trust you all have in me. However, it pains me to inform you all that the movie did not have a proper multi language release across India for contract/content delay issues which also led to 360 Telugu premier shows overseas being cancelled. I apologise to all Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam audiences and promise that after Karthikeya 2 it will be our next three upcoming films that will be in theatres in all languages perfectly finished and released on time. I also promise every Telugu movie lover who trusts me that from now on we will never compromise on quality, no matter what the pressures are and will only make sure a finished, checked and fantastic product is given to you all." 

Spy released on June 29 to mixed-to-negative reviews. The film is written and directed by debutant and editor Garry BH.
