Karuppu not meant for Suriya. Suriya's Karuppu directed by RJ. Balaji is generating immense interest among movie lovers. Now, during his interaction with scribes, RJ.Balaji made shocking revelation.
He said “I started writing Karuppuon August 21, 2023. Every three months the story kept taking different shapes, and then different actors came to my mind to play the protagonist." He said when he approached Vijay, he asked whether the shoot can be started at once and he replied that he needed some time and later Vijay entered politics and so Vijay couldn't do the project.
He went on to add "But the reports about casting any other actor are just rumours. I wrote Karuppu for Suriya sir and have made it only for him. I narrated only 40 minutes of the story to him, and he immediately loved it. We started shooting for the film just a month after the narration."
About Trisha being the female lead, he said "I love Trisha ma'am as much as I love Suriya sir. We became very good friends after this film. It's been nearly 28 years since Suriya Sir came into the industry, and Trisha Ma'am has also completed about 23 years. So they have similar experience and are both senior actors. I assure you that their scenes in the film will be fun to watch."
