Earlier delays, pending work and technical factors behind the decision
Directed by Geethu Mohandas, the film has already faced a delay due to global tensions in the Middle East as the makers wanted a smooth international rollout.To add to that, some post-production work, including CGI, is said to remain unfinished. There have also been some revisions to the extra time needed to get the correct final cut of the film. These may be the reasons for the latest delay.
