'Karuppu' first review: Sai Abhyankkar teases fans with Suriya starrer update, says 'worth the wait'

Directed by RJ Balaji, 'Karuppu' starring Suriya, has been in the news for a long time. The cast includes Trisha, Indrans, Natty, Swasika, and Shivada. The first look, teaser, and the first song, 'God Mode', were released earlier and got good attention. But the release kept getting delayed. Several reports stated that the delay was due to digital sales issues. Now, those problems are said to be cleared, and the film is moving towards its release.

Sai Abhyankkar’s tweet creates buzz

In the middle of this long wait, composer Sai Abhyankkar’s tweet became the biggest talking point. He shared a post saying that he had just watched the final output of 'Karuppu'. He added one simple line: the film is worth the wait. This short message created a big impact. Fans saw it as the first real reaction from someone who worked on the film. It did not feel like a normal promotion post.

Suriya’s recent journey and expectations

Suriya had a few recent hits. ‘Kanguva’ came out to high expectations, but it was panned by critics and did not do well at the box office. Then came retro, which had mixed reviews but was enjoyed by some fans. Many expected Suriya to join Vetrimaaran’s 'Vaadivaasal'. Instead, the announcement of 'Karuppu' with RJ Balaji surprised everyone. There was another surprise too. At first, AR Rahman’s name was linked to the film. Later, Sai Abhyankkar was announced as the music composer.
