Karuppu was initially meant for Trisha Krishnan as the lead?
According to an old report by Valai Pechu, director RJ Balaji (RJB) initially wanted to make the movie with Trisha Krishnan as the lead. The film was supposedly titled Maasaani Amman, which would have featured the Leo actress in a role similar to that of Nayanthara in Mookuthi Amman.
Moreover, the script was reportedly revised later on, incorporating elements that are suitable for a Suriya-starrer movie. However, this is just a report for now and has not been confirmed by the makers.
Karuppu teaser
Suriya is celebrating his 50th birthday on July 23, 2025, making it a milestone in the actor's personal life. Celebrating the Retro star's birthday, the makers of Karuppu unveiled a teaser.
The action-packed teaser showcased Suriya as a divine entity who takes the form of a lawyer to help a person's plea. Taking on adversaries, Karuppu showcases a power-packed performance by Suriya, featuring elements of fantasy and awe.

With Suriya in the lead, the movie features Trisha Krishnan as the co-star, marking their reunion after several years. Aside from them, the film features actors such as Natty, Indrans, Anagha Maya Ravi, Swasika, Sshivada, and many more in key roles.
With RJB helming the project, the musical tracks and scores will be created by Sai Abhyankkar.
