'Karuppu' Release Set Amidst Song Controversy
18 Apr
Summary
- Suriya's 'Karuppu' film to release theatrically on May 14, 2026.
- Director RJ Balaji confirmed viral song removed from final film.
- The film is also releasing in Telugu as 'Veera Bhadrudu'.

Suriya's 'Karuppu,' directed by RJ Balaji, is scheduled for a major theatrical launch on May 14, 2026. This rural action film has generated considerable anticipation after several delays, including missing previous 2025 and early 2026 release slots. The confirmed summer release date has appeased stakeholders.
The movie boasts a star-studded cast and is expected to have wide appeal. A song, 'Naanga Naalu Peru,' sung by Silambarasan, went viral but also drew heavy criticism and online trolling for its arrangement. This negative reception led to speculation about its inclusion in the film.
