Karuppu was originally slated for a worldwide release on May 14. While some international markets adhered to this schedule, Indian theaters had to wait an extra day.

The delay was reportedly due to financial issues, with theater distributor Ruban Mathivanan of GK Cinemas revealing that losses were incurred by financiers, exhibitors, and distributors owing to the production house's previous films.

However, these issues were eventually resolved, and Karuppu hit theaters on May 15.
