Suriya's 45th film gets a powerful title ‘Karuppu'
Tamil star Suriya's 45th film, directed by RJ Balaji, has been officially titled Karuppu, as announced by the makers on the occasion of the director's birthday. The movie is nearing completion, with only patchwork left to be filmed. Post-production is currently in progress, and the film is slated for an August 2025 release. The film's title—Karuppu—is inspired by the folk deity Karuppusamy, also referred to as the 'Black God.' The title poster features a commanding visual of Suriya holding a sword, standing in front of an image of the deity. While Suriya's face remains unseen in the poster, the mood suggests an intense and powerful role. Trisha Krishnan stars opposite Suriya, marking their reunion after two decades. The duo last shared screen space in the 2005 film Aaru. This film also brings Suriya back in collaboration with producers SR Prabu and SR Prakash Babu of Dream Warrior Pictures, who previously produced his political thriller NGK.

RJ Balaji, who is known for his quick, witty remarks and who has been a successful Tamil commentator, had in a video clip announced his decision. He had said, 'I am someone who believes that a person must focus on only one task at a time and do it well. Therefore, I am doing one job now. As I have to direct a film and as I have several responsiblities, I thought I should give a small pause to my stint as an IPL commentator,' he had said. Stating that he felt bad even saying that he wasn't going to be commentating, RJ Balaji said that this was 'just a small pause' and that 'After I finish this shoot, God willing, I will see you all in the next season of the IPL.'
