Vijay's
highly
anticipated
fantasy-adventure
drama,
Puli
was
slated
to
release
worldwide
today.
But
as
per
the
latest
reports,
Puli
has
not
released
in
Kerala.
Sources
suggest
that
the
movie
is
facing
license
issues;
which
resulted
in
the
delay.
The
license
issue
is
a
result
of
the
income
tax
raids
which
were
held
in
the
residences
of
the
team
members,
including
Vijay
and
director
Chimbudevan
and
the
producers
Shibu
Thameens
and
PT
Selva
Kumar.
The
team
members
immediately
paid
the
income
tax
money;
but
the
license
has
not
been
allowed
yet.
The
news
hasn't
gone
well
with
the
Vijay
fans
of
Kerala,
who
were
eagerly
waiting
to
watch
the
movie.
According
to
the
reports,
the
highly
upset
Vijay
fans
have
attacked
the
theatres
in
Trivandrum
city.
If
things
fall
in
place,
the
first
show
of
Puli
will
start
by
12
pm
today,
in
all
the
major
releasing
centres
of
Kerala.
Puli
is
a
highly
ambitious
project
for
lead
actor
Vijay
and
director
Chimbudevan.
The
movie
marks
the
comeback
of
veteran
actress
Sridevi
into
Tamil
cinema,
after
a
very
long
hiatus.
Kannada
actor
Sudeep
plays
the
antagonist.
Shruthi
Haasan
and
Hansika
Motwani
will
essay
the
female
leads
opposite
Vijay.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast
includes

Thambi
Ramaiah,

Shankar,
