Sridevi in a still from Puli.
Tamil superstar Vijay's upcoming Tamil fantasy drama
Puli, which was originally slated to release on September 17, will now hit the screens worldwide on October 1, due to the delay in computer graphics work.
"Work pertaining to computer graphics on the film has been outsourced to third parties in countries such as Russia, China and Sweden. The team is unsatisfied with the output and hence, they've been asked to rework on some crucial portion," a source from the film's unit told IANS. (Also Read -
