The makers of director A R Jeeva's gripping drama, Lockdown, featuring actress Anupama Parameswaran in the lead, on Wednesday announced that they had decided to postpone the release of the film. The team made the decision in the wake of incessant rains continuing to lash Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu.

Chennai and parts of Tamil Nadu, have been receiving steady rainfall for over a week as a result of the deep depression caused by the remnants of cyclone Ditwah, which wreaked havoc in neighbouring Sri Lanka.
