The movie was due to release Friday, but it has now been rescheduled to hit the screens May 23.
When asked to explain the unexpected turn of events, Manohar said: "Yes, unfortunately we are not ready to release this Friday. We were racing against time."
The news, though a big blow to eager Rajinikanth fans, comes as welcome respite to the six other Hindi releases this week - "Hawaa Hawaai", "Khwabb", "Mastram", "Koyelaanchal", "Manjunath" and "Yeh Hai Bakrapur".
