After the back-to-back failures of Kanguva and Retro, Suriya has finished shooting for Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji. The film is in post-production, but the makers have not yet announced a release date.
Initially, fans expected Karuppu to release for Diwali, but there was no update. Later, speculation suggested a Pongal 2026 release.
Recent reports claim even a Pongal release is unlikely. Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi have already secured the Pongal slot. The makers are now reportedly eyeing an April 14 release next year.
This delay has angered some netizens, who are lashing out at Dream Warrior Pictures for constant postponements. They argue Suriya is facing the worst phase of his career and accuse the production house of not supporting him.
Certain fans feel Suriya is no longer concerned about them. They say he could have pushed for a proper release but instead moved on to his next project with Venky Atluri.
Meanwhile, meme creators are trolling Suriya, joking that Karuppu will premiere on Amazon Prime on February 30 and calling him an OTT star whose films never get proper theatrical releases.
It remains to be seen if these criticisms will push the makers to confirm a proper release date soon.
