After returning to Tamil cricket commentary for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, RJ Balaji has released a new video on social media, where he addresses his return to the silver screen. The actor-director revealed that the release date for the Suriya-starrer Karuppu will be announced within 7-10 days.
In the video, Balaji said, "Thanks to everyone. Thanks for the love shown for the cricket commentary. I didn't return to the world of commentary but also the outside world after two years. I was out of the public's eye for a while, but the love shown to me is still the same. I just returned (from Ahmedabad) to Chennai, after completing the commentary for the match, and the love I received from the first people I met here felt really good. The feedback on social media, and the ones I receive personally for my commentary, and the positive ratings feels good too. I accept all of your love, with all humility. This job is one I love a lot, and it makes me happy that it is loved by all of you too."
Speaking about Karuppu, he said, "And yes, now back to the grind, we are resuming work on Karuppu. I understand the disappointment the fans, especially Suriya's fans have, as this statement has been said multiple times before. Of course, it has been a long wait, for me too. I have been working on this for almost two years. Your wait will be worth it. I am also not in the mindset to take more time for this. Within a week or 10 days, we will meet you with the news of the film's release date. I will also say that the film is not releasing on April 10. There are a lot of rumours that claim that the producer has had a falling out with the director, or the music director, or even another producer. I understand the frustration of the wait. Trust me everyone will like this film."
The cast for Karuppu, also includes Trisha, Indrans, Natty, Swasika, Sshivadha, Anagha Maya Ravi, Supreeth Reddy, among others. Sai Abhyankkar is composing music for the film. SR Prakash Babu and SR Prabu are producing under their Dream Warrior Pictures banner.
