Actor Suriya had his last outing in the romantic action thriller Retro crafted by Karthik Subbaraj with actress Pooja Hegde as female lead. The Soorarai Pottru actor is now gearing up for the release of his upcoming action drama Karuppu. Director RJ Balaji, who served as co-director for Mookuthi Amman and Veetla Vishesham, will be making his solo directorial debut with the flick. He has co-written the script with writers Ashwin Ravichandran, Rahul Raj, T S Gopi Krishnan, and Karan Aravind Kumar.
Actress Trisha Krishnan has teamed up with actor Suriya for the fourth time after Aaytha Ezhuthu, Mounam Pesiyadhe, and Aaru. The movie was shot in and around the surroundings of Chennai, Coimbatore, Pollachi, and Hyderabad. Actor Suriya recently celebrated his 50th birthday. Celebrities throughout India are sending in their wishes for the star. On this special occasion the team of Karuppu has unveiled the teaser of the film on social media.
Taking to his official X account, actor Mahat Raghavendra dropped a special poster along with a link to the teaser of Karuppu and wrote, “Karuppu – What a MIND-BLOWING Teaser! Every frame is on. The Director RJ Balaji brother & the team have truly outdone themselves. Suriya anna looks absolutely killer. Can’t wait to watch this movie on big screens. This is going to be a real treat. S R Prabhu, Dream Warrior Pictures, Sathappa Srinivasan. Karuppu.” Here is the post made by the production unit.
The nearly two minutes long teaser of Karuppu begins with a voiceover, “It is not the calm deity that you worship with grace. If you pray with sincerity and apply chilli to it. It is a fierce deity that will deliver instant justice.” We have the intro of actor Suriya covered from different angles. He then introduces himself, “My name is Saravanan. I go by an alias, too.” Following which we see him thrash a few henchmen and dance around in his village.
In a shot he throws a punch, “My dear brother! This is my time. I am going to whack each one of you!” In between an action sequence he tells someone, “Hey, kiddo, this looks fantastic!” The teaser ends with him saying to a fellow he beat up, “Baby, daddy is home.”
Apart from Suriya and Trisha Krishnan, the casting crew of Karuppu also comprises actors Sshivada, Swasika, Natty Subramaniam, Yogi Babu, Indrans, Supreeth Reddy, and Anagha Maaya Ravi. Initially, Oscar recipient A R Rahman was brought on board to compose music for the drama. Unfortunately, for reasons best known to the production unit he pulled out of the project. Musician Sai Abhyankkar of ‘Aasa Kooda’ fame replaced him.
Cinematographer G K Vishnu has shouldered camera for the flick. Editor R Kalaivanan has been roped in to work on the editing division of the entertainer. The art director has fashioned sets for the venture. Stunt masters Anbu, Arivu, and Vikram Mor have choreographed action blocks for the project. Karuppu is backed by S R Prakash Babu and S R Prabhu under their production company Dream Warriors Pictures.
On the professional side, actor Suriya is currently focused on his upcoming drama tentatively christened Suriya 46 helmed by Venky Atluri in which he will be romancing actress Mamitha Baiju, and Vaadivaasal which is set to be directed by Vetrimaaran.
On the other hand, actress Trisha Krishnan will next have a release in Telugu cinema via Vishwambhara scripted by Mallidi Vassishta in which she has featured alongside actor Chiranjeevi.
