'Karuppu' was never meant to be Suriya's film. Director RJ Balaji first narrated the script to Thalapathy Vijay, hoping it would be his farewell to cinema. Vijay said no, and then became Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
The 'Singam' era made him a sure thing. 'Soorarai Pottru' and 'Jai Bhim' rebuilt his reputation on OTT. But somewhere between those peaks and the multiplex, Suriya spent three years and three films trying to prove the theatrical audience still showed up for him.
'Karuppu' India crosses ₹108 crore net at the Indian box office in five days, becoming Suriya's highest-grossing film in India and surpassing ₹150 crore at the worldwide box office.
Suriya and Trisha Krishnan’s ‘Karuppu’ faced a dramatic release-day setback after morning shows were cancelled across Tamil Nadu over reported unpaid dues.
A long-pending case takes center stage as emotions, law, and power collide in a tense courtroom battle. Suriya and Trisha step into a world where justice is argued in court and fought beyond it.
RJ Balaji has dismissed rumours claiming Suriya’s 'Karuppu' will release on April 10, urging fans to ignore the speculation. The director says the team will officially reveal the film’s release date within the next week or ten days.
The 'Karuppu' teaser doesn’t hold back on the action either. Explosions, chase scenes, and dramatic fight sequences fill the screen, all backed by Suriya’s commanding presence and fiery dialogues.
RJ Balaji, who is not just a director and actor but also a cricket commentator, had earlier stepped away from his IPL commentary duties to focus entirely on this project.
