All about Karuppu
A Tamil action drama, Karuppu follows the story of a man/lawyer who becomes possessed by the folk deity Karuppasamy to destroy corruption and fight for justice for the marginalised. Directed by RJ Balaji, it stars Suriya, Trisha Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Indrans, Natty Subramaniam and Swasika.
Originally scheduled to release on May 14, 2026, the film faced sudden, last-minute cancellations of morning shows across Tamil Nadu due to outstanding financial dues. The release-day chaos was quickly resolved when Suriya reportedly stepped in and took personal responsibility to clear the producers' pending financier settlements.
Following the clearance, the movie successfully hit theatres on May 15, 2026, with fans praising its high-octane interval sequences and mass moments. The producers, Dream Warrior Pictures, have issued strict legal notices warning the public against unapproved screenings and piracy, particularly in regions of North India.
