RJ Balaji, who is currently awaiting the release of Suriya's Karuppu, which hits theatres next month, has shared a new update on the film. Speaking at the pre-release event of Vignesh Shivan's Love Insurance Kompany (LIK), the Mookuthi Amman filmmaker revealed that the Karuppu's third single will be released before the Tamil New Year which falls on April 14.
"After a lot of hard work and many days of wait, the film is all set for release. It has come out very well and producer has also liked it. All of us who worked on the film are very satisfied with its output. So, gear up for May 14. It will be entertaining and enjoyed by all. Before the Tamil new year, the new single from the film will be released," he said.
Karuppu's first single 'God Mode', released in October last year while its second single, 'Naanga Naalu Peru', released last month, had vocals by Silambarasan TR alongside rapper Asal Kolaar.
The film features Trisha as the female lead, reuniting her with her Aaru (2005) co-star Suriya. The supporting cast includes Yogi Babu, acclaimed Malayalam actor Indrans, Sshivada, Lubber Pandhu fame Swasika, Natty, Supreeth Reddy, and Anagha Maya Ravi. The director is also playing a cameo role in the film.
While plot details are currently unknown, the teaser for the film revealed that Suriya will play a lawyer called Saravanan, a nod to his original name. Released in July last year, it presented Suriya in a 'mass' avatar. Set in a rural backdrop, he is looked at as a saviour, an almost deity-like who delivers justice to commonfolk.
Music for Karuppu is composed by Sai Abhyankkar, with lyrics by Vishnu Edavan, Asal Kolaar, Arun Srinivasan. Cinematographer GK Vishnu, editor R Kalaivanan, production designer Arun Venjaramoodu, and stunt choreographers Anbariv and Vikram Mor, round out the crew of Karuppu.
Karuppu is produced by SR Prakash Babu and SR Prabu under their Dream Warrior Pictures banner. Aravendaraj Baskaran is serving as the executive producer on the film. The film has been titled Veerabhadrudu in Telugu.
