Chennai, June 27 (IANS) The makers of director Eugien Jos Chirammel's upcoming film 'Soothravakyam', featuring actors Shine Tom Chacko and Vincy Aloshious in the lead, on Friday announced that their film's release was being postponed to July 11 this year.

Taking to his Instagram page, the film's producer, Srikanth Kandragula, posted a statement that read, "Dear Film Lovers, Due to certain technical reasons, the release date of our upcoming film 'Soothravakyam' has been rescheduled. The movie will now hit theatres worldwide on July 11."

It further said, "From the very beginning of the shoot to the final stages of release, Soothravakyam has overcome several challenges.
