Crimson and fiery red visuals fill the screens in Karuppu's new single 'Raathu Raasan', which was unveiled on Tamil New Year. The third song from Suriya's upcoming film from director RJ Balaji unfolds in a temple where several villagers gather to sing and dance their heart out. Carrying flames in one hand and sickles in the other, the celebratory dance number for the God sees Suriya becoming one with the members and the atmosphere and engaging wholeheartedly in the festival. The rest of the video showcases a few behind-the-scenes visuals of how the song was crafted.
Sung by Sai Abhyankkar, VM Mahalingam, Paal Dabba, the song has lyrics by Vivek.
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.
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, which has been titled Veerabhadrudu in Telugu, is all set for release in theatres on May 14.
