Along with the post, the makers announced the formal title of the movie as Karuppu, a name that embodies all aspects of the film.
They wrote, 'With pride and Excitement, we present the title of #Suriya45: 'KARUPPU'. A name that embodies the soul of our story, shaped by heart, spirit, and purpose. #கருப்பு #KaruppuWishing a very Happy Birthday to our director @RJ_Balaji.'
More details about Karuppu
Besides Suriya and Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles, the movie would also feature an ensemble cast that includes Sshivada, Swasika, Yogi Babu, Indrans, Natty Subramanium, and others.
Sai Abhaynkkar has been roped in as the music composer for the film, replacing AR Rahman as the initial choice. The film is based on a story written by RJ Balaji and Rathna Kumar.
Suriya's work front
Karuppu marks a new entrant to Suriya's lineup of movies ahead. The actor has kick-started another one of his projects with Venky Atluri as the director, where Mamita Baiju is playing the leading lady.
The actor was last seen in the film Retro, which failed to make a mark at the box office. Previously, his other movie, Kanguva, also met with a similarly disappointing fate.
