In a sudden turn of events, we have learnt from reliable sources that superstar Rajinikanth-starrer Kabali, which was earlier slated to release worldwide on July 1, has now been pushed to July 15.

While the exact reason for deferment is still unknown, our 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 ‘Thalaivar’ 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 other than deciding to have a soft launch of the album. On June 12, the soundtrack will now directly hit the stores around 11 am.

Meanwhile, the Telugu rights of the film were finally acquired by Shanmukha Pictures for a whopping INR 30 crore. Both the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film will have a simultaneous release.
