Karuppu, the much-awaited Tamil film directed by RJ Balaji, is set to hit theatres worldwide on May 14. Suriya takes on dual roles as a fiery lawyer and a powerful deity, teaming up to battle deep-rooted injustice in society. Joining him is Trisha Krishnan in a pivotal role, while the supporting cast features Yogi Babu and RJ Balaji himself stepping in as the menacing villain, promising a thrilling mix of drama, action, and sharp social commentary.
The film’s release has received a strong boost with early shows already approved across Tamil Nadu following the recent electoral victory of actor-turned-politician Vijay’s TVK party on May 10. There is also growing expectation that the new government will permit early morning shows as well, though it is currently following the rules set by the erstwhile DMK regime. Advance bookings have already created a frenzy, crossing ₹1 crore in Tamil Nadu within just 20 hours and nearing ₹2 crore globally, signalling massive audience anticipation.
Adding to the pre-release buzz, the official trailer has stormed the internet with a staggering 27 million views, leaving fans eagerly counting down to what looks like one of the biggest cinematic events of the year.
