Karuppu story
The film follows a lawyer who is possessed by a deity and fights against the injustice meted out to marginalised communities. Suriya plays Saravanan in the film.
At the audio launch held in Madurai, Balaji said, "Every 10 minutes, there will be a high point in the film," adding that the narrative is crafted to maintain consistency throughout the film, with the first half building emotional depth and the second half having crowd-pleasing moments.
Karuppu was initially scheduled for theatrical release on May 14. But the makers announced that the film had been delayed due to certain issues. Reports claimed that the delay was due to unpaid dues amounting to Rs 10 crore.
