Well, the issue has now been addressed by the leading man, who took to Twitter to apologize to his disappointed fans and followers for the inconvenience caused. In a statement, he wrote, "A request letter in regard to K3 show timings. It's my duty to inform all those at the theatres already, that there is a delay in shows due to certain issues. I personally apologies for the negligence from the concerned. I request all not to react badly at the theatres as they have nothing to do with this. This is a rare situation and I am sure a lil patience from all wil by my greatest strength. I too was equally excited to bring forth a film on screen. after scha long gap. Will tweet soon on the show timings once I have better clarity on it. Until then I request not to because any harm to urself nor cause damage to any properties (theatres). Since I feel it's my personal duty towards all my friends who have love and belived in me, I shall promise you all that I will ensure my films will not see chaotic release in the future. luv and hugs Kichcha."
