Karuppu First Look: Suriya Holds A Machete, Stands Tall In Dense Blood-Red Setting
Last Updated:
Suriya's next film, Karuppu, is a Tamil action-thriller directed by RJ Balaji. The first look poster hints at a dark narrative.
Actor Suriya will next be seen in the Tamil action-thriller film, Karuppu. The first look from the film was unveiled today, June 20. Though only the actor's silhouette was visible in the poster, the striking red background is enough to give you the chills.
The poster for Karuppu is visually intense, immersed in a striking blood-red hue, setting a powerful and ominous tone. At the center is actor Suriya, silhouetted against the red mist, holding a large machete in a commanding pose. His stance conveys confrontation, strength, and possibly vengeance. Surrounding him are religious and ritualistic elements like tridents (trishuls) and towering statues, hinting at a deeper mythological or spiritual layer to the narrative.
The smoke-filled background adds to the mystical atmosphere, while the title Karuppu, meaning 'black' in Tamil, is boldly displayed in sharp red typography, suggesting themes of darkness, intensity, and moral complexity. Dropping the poster, Suriya tagged the film's writer-director RJ Balaji, and wrote, 'Here's our #Karuppu for you..! Wishing you all happiness @RJ_Balaji (sic)." Take a look:
Fans expressed their excitement in the comment box. A user wrote, '#Karuppu this is going to be master class….. and a block buster again … from our @Suriya_offl

Meet woman, who is relative of India's richest actress Juhi Chawla, was once removed from movies due to..., her name is...
Juhi Chawla is one of the most well-known faces in Bollywood. Not just that, she is also the richest actress in Bollywood, as per the report by the Hurun Rich List 2024. Though the actress came from a background where no one was part of the industry, Juhi made a name for herself. Today, she is a prominent actress in Bollywood. However, do you know that Juhi's sister-in-law is also an actress? As beautiful as Juhi, her sister-in-law Madhoo Shah is a well-known Indian actress who has worked across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada cinema. She stepped into Bollywood in 1991 with the action-romance blockbuster Phool Aur Kaante, opposite Ajay Devgn. Just a year later, Madhoo shot to fame with the Tamil romantic thriller Roja, where she starred alongside Arvind Swamy. Over the years, Madhoo became a household name in the industry. However, many people don't know that Madhoo shares a close relationship with Hema Malini — she is her cousin — and her father was a producer. In an interview, Madhoo revealed she had to face several challenges despite coming from a background of artists. While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Madhoo shared, 'My father was a producer. I am from Hema Malini's family; she is my cousin. My mother was a dancer. My whole background was around dance, music, and films. But whatever I did, I did it myself. First of all, it was a struggle that I had to tell my father that I wanted to become an actor, because he wanted me to become a doctor. Second, I did not have support, and I did not have confidence. I felt that if I told people that I wanted to become an actor, people would laugh. I had to get out of self-doubt. I did not even know how to approach someone for work. All this was a big struggle for me. First of all, I got rejection.' She added, 'My father was a producer, so he had a film Awaargi, which had Anil Kapoor, Govinda, and Meenakshi. I had gone for the song recording of that film. When a producer saw me there, he told my father that he wanted to cast me in a film. But my father got angry about it. But then I told my father to say yes. Then he got me trained. But when the film started, after four days only, he felt that I was not ready, and I was replaced.' When Madhoo came to know about her replacement, her heart broke. However, she did not lose hope and turned out to be one of the most well-known actresses of the '90s.
