Suriya in Dual Roles: A Glimpse into ‘Karuppu’
Balaji is asked to give an update about Karuppu, to which he replies, “Karuppu is ready for release. However, we do not want to create hype as we don’t want fans to come in with huge expectations and feel disappointed if the film falls short.” He also added, “The film has come out well, and you will all like it. We intend to release it after the elections this summer. It is a film that the whole family can enjoy.”
The teaser , released on Suriya’s birthday last June, shows him in dual roles. One version of him, dressed in white, is a lawyer named Saravanan who says he, too, goes by an alias. The other version, dressed in black with an aruval/koduval (kind of machete/sickle) in hand, seems more violent than the lawyer. The actor even references a famous scene from the song Oru Maalai in Ghajini in the teaser.
Suriya’s Upcoming Projects: ‘Suriya 46’ and ‘Suriya 47’
Suriya was most recently seen in Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro, which received mixed reviews. He is shooting for the yet-to-be-titled Suriya 46 with Venky Atluri and Suriya 47 with Jithu Madhavan. Suriya 46 also stars Mamitha Baiju, Raveena Tandon, Radhika Sarathkumar , Bhavani Sre, and Bjorn Surrao, while Suriya 47 stars Nazriya Nazim, with Naslen, Anandaraj, and John Vijay.
