Last evening eagle-eyed fans of Sivakarthikeyan noticed that the actor and the producer of his upcoming film Doctor have unfollowed each other on social media. They went into an over-drive speculating difference of opinion over Doctor's release and now KJR Studios has come up with an official update on the movie.

"You have been asking us for updates about #Doctor everyday. As a Producer, I'm bearing all the financial & 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....

At a time like this, where nothing is certain, I do not want to talk about something celebratory like #Doctor release. Please understand & oblige

Stay home, take care of your family, respect the regulations. We as a country need to recover to rejoice a release."

- KJR

It is worth mentioning here that Doctor was previously speculated to skip theatrical release and premiere directly on OTT. Theatre owners even took to Twitter to appeal to the makers to re-consider their decision and recently MovieCrow reported that Sivakarthikeyan and KJR Studios had not finalized on how Doctor was going to release.
