It felt alive." Another wrote, 'Once Suriya Naa Said : Yellaa Sacrifice ayum Enakkaaga, En Kozhandhaigalukaaga Panra, Enna Nadikka Vidra Ennoda Jyotika Kaaga." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jyotika (@jyotika) Suriya will next be seen in the Tamil action-thriller film, Karuppu. The first look from the film was unveiled today, June 20. Though only the actor's silhouette was visible in the poster, the striking red background is enough to give you the chills. The poster for Karuppu is visually intense, immersed in a striking blood-red hue, setting a powerful and ominous tone. At the center is actor Suriya, silhouetted against the red mist, holding a large machete in a commanding pose. His stance conveys confrontation, strength, and possibly vengeance. Surrounding him are religious and ritualistic elements like tridents (trishuls) and towering statues, hinting at a deeper mythological or spiritual layer to the narrative. The smoke-filled background adds to the mystical atmosphere, while the title Karuppu, meaning 'black' in Tamil, is boldly displayed in sharp red typography, suggesting themes of darkness, intensity, and moral complexity. Dropping the poster, Suriya tagged the film's writer-director RJ Balaji, and wrote, 'Here's our #Karuppu for you..! Wishing you all happiness @RJ_Balaji (sic)." Karuppu, starring Suriya in the lead, is produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and written and directed by RJB, with cinematography by GK Vishnu and music by Sai Abhyankar. Given RJ Balaji's previous successes like Mookuthi Amman and Veetla Visesham, expectations are high that the film will strike a balance between good content with a mass appeal. It is planned for release this October during Diwali. First Published: June 29, 2025, 14:01 IST
