Post
several
postponements,
the
producer
of
Sivakarthikeyan's
Doctor
Rajesh
Kotapadi
has
finally
opened
up
about
the
film's
release.
In
a
statement
released
today
(May
12),
the
producer
said
that
he
has
been
bearing
all
financial
constraints
caused
by
COVID-19
in
spite
of
having
a
fully
ready
film
in
hand.
He
tweeted,
"You
have
been
asking
us
for
updates
about
#Doctor
every
day.
As
a
Producer,
I'm
bearing
all
the
financial
and
material
constraints
caused
by
COVID-19
with
a
fully
ready
film
in
hand.
I'm
doing
everything
within
my
power
to
get
the
film
the
right
release.
Losing
near
and
dear
ones
to
the
second
wave
on
another
hand."
Rajesh
further
added
that
he
doesn't
wish
to
talk
about
the
film's
release
as
of
now,
as
it
is
not
the
right
time
to
talk
about
a
celebratory
event
amid
COVID-19
pandemic.
Hinting
that
Doctor's
release
might
take
more
time,
he
said,
"At
a
time
like
this,
where
nothing
is
certain,
I
do
not
want
to
talk
about
something
celebratory
like
#Doctor
release.
Please
understand
and
oblige.
Stay
home,
take
care
of
your
family,
respect
the
regulations.
We
as
a
country
need
to
recover
to
rejoice
a
release-
KJR."
Though
the
statement
has
disappointed
many,
Sivakarthikeyan
fans
who
were
expecting
the
release
on
the
special
occasion
of
Eid
as
announced
recently,
expressed
support
to
the
team.
On
the
other
hand,
what
has
come
as
a
surprise
to
many
is
the
fact
that
the
producer
has
unfollowed
Sivakarthikeyan
along
with
Doctor's
director
and
music
composer
Nelson
Dilipkumar
and
Anirudh
Ravichander
respectively,
hinting
at
some
tension
within
the
team.
With
several
netizens
speculating
the
reason
behind
the
latest
development,
we
will
have
to
wait
and
watch
if
any
of
the
team
members
disclose
the
ongoing
issue.
