Suriya has completed shooting for his upcoming film Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji. However, the makers have not announced a confirmed release date yet. The delay has created curiosity among fans, especially after the back to back failures of Kanguva and Retro.
Recent reports suggest that the team behind Karuppu is considering a theatrical release on May 1. At the same time, the film’s OTT deal is expected to be finalised within the next ten days. An official announcement may follow once the agreement is completed.
Sources also claim that two leading OTT platforms have already watched Karuppu. According to reports, both platforms responded positively to the film. The producer is expected to take the final call before confirming the digital rights deal.
If the May 1 release date is confirmed, Karuppu could face a direct clash at the box office. Dhanush’s film Kara is already scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 30. This timing could create a major Kollywood box office battle.
Many social media users say such a clash would attract strong attention from audiences. Both Suriya and Dhanush are looking for a comeback after their recent Kollywood films struggled at the box office. Because of this, the competition could become intense.
At the same time, the long silence around Karuppu has frustrated some fans. The lack of updates for several months has led to speculation online. A few users have even started spreading rumours about possible disagreements within the team.
Some posts claim there may be a conflict between the director and producer. These rumours suggest that internal issues are causing the release delay. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding these claims.
For now, the makers of Karuppu have not provided a clear update about the release plan. Fans continue to wait for an official announcement from the team. It remains to be seen whether the film will release on May 1.
If that date is finalised, the clash with Dhanush’s Kara could become one of the most talked about Kollywood releases. The outcome at the box office will ultimately depend on how audiences respond to both films after their release.
