Suriya's 45th film gets a powerful title ‘Karuppu'
Tamil star Suriya's 45th film, directed by RJ Balaji, has been officially titled Karuppu, as announced by the makers on the occasion of the director's birthday. The movie is nearing completion, with only patchwork left to be filmed. Post-production is currently in progress, and the film is slated for an August 2025 release. The film's title—Karuppu—is inspired by the folk deity Karuppusamy, also referred to as the 'Black God.' The title poster features a commanding visual of Suriya holding a sword, standing in front of an image of the deity. While Suriya's face remains unseen in the poster, the mood suggests an intense and powerful role. Trisha Krishnan stars opposite Suriya, marking their reunion after two decades. The duo last shared screen space in the 2005 film Aaru. This film also brings Suriya back in collaboration with producers SR Prabu and SR Prakash Babu of Dream Warrior Pictures, who previously produced his political thriller NGK. Touted as a high-concept action adventure, Karuppu promises to blend mass appeal with RJ Balaji's signature humor. Cinematography is handled by GK Vishnu, while Sai Abhyankar, a rising talent, is composing the film's soundtrack.

When Sai Pallavi recalled being swept off her feet by Suriya; feeling intimidated by Fahadh Faasil: ‘You don't know if it's love or hatred'
Sai Pallavi has charmed both filmmakers and audiences with her powerful performances and flawless looks. In her years-long career, the actor has collaborated with several stars of the South Indian film industry and delivered many memorable performances. Among these films is the 2019 critically acclaimed Athiran, in which she starred opposite Fahadh Faasil. In an old interview, Sai had opened up about how she felt intimidated by the actor. Speaking to Film Companion, Sai admitted that she can't really judge what Fahadh is thinking because of his intense eyes. She said, 'I was intimidated by him because of his work. There's something about his eyes. You don't know whether it's love or hatred when he's looking at you. His expressions are subtle but speak so loudly on screen. I'm not talking about just Athiran.' While working on the film with Fahadh Faasil, Sai Pallavi, however, learned a valuable lesson from the actor. Revealing the same, she said, 'He told me that he wasn't sure of doing films and took time off in the US. He said he decided to give it another try one day. He told me that he didn't take a lot of pressure. That's when I realized that pressure can bring you down. He said 'Every film that I do is either my first or last film. I don't have a before or after.'' Tamil star Suriya is another actor Sai Pallavi deeply admires. The two worked together in the 2019 film NGK. Sharing an instance when Suriya literally took her breath away, she said, 'I am a huge fan. On the first day, I didn't realize he was standing behind me. I gasped when I turned. You know, in films where you're swept off your feet in a dramatic way, you lose your breath and are carried away? I felt that way. It was like my breath just stopped. And he saw that. He looked away, smiling. Suriya sir has been in the industry for so long. He's so disciplined. Sometimes, after doing a few films, you want to chill, and not do dialogues before you go to set. I've never seen him that way. He's a perfectionist.'
