“Karuppu” keeps pulling crowds. The Tamil film is still strong in theatres and has become a hot topic across the state and abroad.
On 24 May 2026 the actor turned up for a press‑and‑fan meet in Chennai. He looked emotional, thanked everyone, and said the love for the film feels huge.
During his talk he spoke about director RJ Balaji. “From the first meeting I believed in his vision,” he said. He also gave a shout‑out to producers Prakash and Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures for backing the project.
The response, he noted, isn’t just in Tamil Nadu. Audiences in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Ireland, Australia, the UK, the US and Dubai are also cheering. “When we get the same reaction everywhere, we feel we are doing something right,” he added, voice a little shaky.
When the floor opened for a sequel question, fans roared. Suriya smiled, laughed and replied, “Let’s see, sir,” without confirming anything. The crowd loved the ambiguity.
He also mentioned the effort behind the climax and songs. One key song was finished five months after the edit, because the team felt it was needed for the emotional impact.
His look drew its own buzz. He wore a black shirt, dark denim and sported a neatly groomed beard. Pictures and videos of the event trended instantly on social media.
Finally, the star thanked the whole cast and crew, saying real happiness comes from making people happy and seeing audiences celebrate together in theatres.
The speech has since gone viral, adding another chapter to “Karuppu’s” blockbuster journey.
