Suriya’s long pending film Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji, has locked its release date. The film is set to hit theatres on May 14th, creating strong buzz among fans.
With the release nearing, RJ Balaji has begun active promotions. He is giving interviews and attending events to build momentum for the film.
In a recent interview, RJ Balaji spoke about Suriya’s role and the film’s scale. His comments quickly went viral on social media and boosted expectations.
He revealed that Karuppu’s budget is 15 times higher than his previous film. He also described it as a full-fledged commercial entertainer for family audiences.
RJ Balaji pointed out a trend in Tamil cinema. He said most heroes are now shown as rowdies or cops, limiting character variety.
He added that he grew up watching relatable characters like milkmen, tea shop owners and drivers. Karuppu aims to bring back those grounded elements with a strong social message.
The director expressed strong confidence in the film. He believes Karuppu will meet expectations and serve as a treat for Suriya fans.
Many fans are excited after his statements. They feel the film could bring back the OG Suriya, who has been missed in recent years.
However, some people feel the film is being overhyped. They warn that high expectations could backfire if the content does not deliver.
They suggest the team should avoid excessive promotion before release. Managing expectations could help the film perform better.
Meanwhile, the second single Naanga Naalu Peru, composed by Sai Abhyankkar and sung by Simbu, has received negative feedback.
Several social media users criticised the track. Some even said Sai Abhyankkar is being exposed with this underwhelming song.
With mixed reactions around promotions and music, all eyes are on Karuppu. It remains to be seen if the film delivers a strong comeback for Suriya on May 14th.
