Vijay's Film Role Passed to Suriya After Politics Call
27 May
Summary
- Vijay was initially slated for Karuppu before his political entry.
- Suriya eventually starred in the film after script revisions.
- Vijay later congratulated the cast and crew post-release.
RJ Balaji, a filmmaker, recently shared that the film Karuppu was first conceived for actor Vijay. This was intended to be Vijay's final movie before his transition into politics. Balaji had multiple discussions with Vijay about the project, focusing on his political aspirations.
Ultimately, Vijay stepped away from Karuppu, a decision Balaji respected. The project then moved to Suriya, who became the lead. Suriya's suggestions were instrumental in refining the script to its final version.
The film Karuppu is a fantasy action drama where the guardian deity Karuppasamy appears as a lawyer. His mission is to combat judicial corruption and save a young girl.
Balaji expressed gratitude to Vijay, noting that Vijay's insightful questions during script narration ultimately improved the film. Vijay also personally contacted the team to congratulate them after Karuppu's release.
