Talking about the narrative of his film and calling the first half more interesting. Balaji stated, "I communicated the film correctly. Otherwise, I couldn’t have stood up against the criticism from today’s social media. People trust me, so I need to tell the truth. We presented a good story in the first half. That’s why, even though there wasn’t much story in the second half, audiences still enjoyed it."
Rajinikanth appreciated Karappu
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, RJ Balaji recalled a phone conversation with Rajinikanth, who called him after watching Karuppu. The filmmaker-actor said, "Whenever a good film is released, Rajinikanth will watch it and meet the film crew in person or over the phone to congratulate them. He called me to congratulate. He said, in his style, ‘Balaji, super, super, super, you have achieved; you have achieved. What a big hit! We will meet again soon’."
