Suriya's NGK is a film that was widely talked about during the time of its release. The film opened to mixed reviews from the critics and fans, and it was also one of the movies which popularized the concept of decoding. NGK was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Selvaraghavan and had music scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh played the female leads in the film. The political drama was bankrolled by SR Prakash Babu and SR Prabhu under the banner of Dream Warrior Pictures. Ever since the movie's release, the fans have been requesting the makers to release the deleted scenes on YouTube, but there were no positive developments.

Recently, the film's producer, SR Prabhu confirmed that the deleted scenes will never be released. He said that there is a reason for removing those sequences from the movie and the team took a conscious decision not to release those scenes on any platform.

Talking about it in a recent Twitter Spaces session (hosted on May 23, Sunday), SR Prabhu said, "The deleted scenes of NGK will not be released and I can confirm that. We had chopped some 40 minutes of scenes that we felt were not strongly connected to the film's main premise, so we deleted those scenes. The scenes were deleted for a reason and we consciously decided not to release those scenes anywhere after the movie's release. So, the NGK deleted scenes will never be released".

When another fan asked if the scenes were deleted by the production house, Prabhu denied the same and said that it was a director's call. "When you have a filmmaker like Selvaraghavan, there is no need for the production house to interfere. Removing the scenes was completely Selvaraghavan's final call", said Prabhu. For all those Suriya fans, who were expecting to see the deleted scenes of NGK someday, this news would come as a disappointment and several fans have already expressed their feelings about it on social media.
