Chennai, March 19 Even as fans continue to celebrate the announcement of the release date made by the makers of director R. J. Balaji's highly anticipated upcoming action thriller "Karuppu," starring Suriya, the film's unit has now revealed that a song is currently being recorded.
The film's official handle on X posted a picture of technicians in the recording studio and wrote, "Creating the next vibe. #Karuppu song recording in progress.
Releasing worldwide on May 14, 2026."
It may be recalled that director R. J. Balaji had made the much-anticipated announcement on the film's release on his social media timelines. He wrote, "#Karuppu - 14-05-2026. The blockbuster summer begins!!!"
The film has generated huge excitement among fans and film enthusiasts. Excitement about the film doubled after the makers released a teaser on the occasion of Suriya's birthday last year.
The teaser begins with the deity of Karuppu being worshipped with chili powder, while a voice says, "It is not a calm deity that you worship with grace. If you pray with sincerity and offer chilies, it is a fierce deity that will deliver instant justice."
We are then introduced to Suriya's character in the film. We learn that he plays a lawyer named Saravanan, and that he also has another name – Karuppu.
The rest of the teaser shows that the film will be a proper commercial entertainer with many action sequences. Suriya is also seen delivering several punch lines in the film. For example, Suriya says, "Blast! My brother, this is our time, I'm going to give you all a good beating."
Actress Trisha plays the female lead in this film, which will also feature Malayalam actors Indrans, Sshivada, Swasika, and Tamil actors Yogi Babu and cinematographer and actor Natty in important roles.
The film has music by young music sensation Sai Abhyankkar, and cinematography by GK Vishnu, the same cinematographer who impressed with his work in films like Vijay's 'Bigil', 'Jawan', and 'Mersal'.
R Kalaivanan will be the editor of this film, with Vikram Mor choreographing the stunts for the film and Arun Venjaramoodu as the art director.
