'Karuppu' teaser out: Suriya unites with RJ Balaji for an adrenaline-packed actioner
The makers of actor Suriya's latest movie Karuppu released a teaser and posters on the occasion of his 50th birthday. Going by the looks of it, the movie promises an action-packed ride. Directed by stand-up comedian-turned-filmmaker RJ Balaji — who rose to fame with prank calls and witty movie reviews on FM radio — Karuppu marks his first collaboration with Suriya, who is fresh off the success of Retro. The movie stars Trisha Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Natarajan Subramaniam and the Malayalam stars Indrans and Swasika. Produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, Karuppu has Sai Abhyankkar composing its music, a relative newbie in the film industry. He shot to fame with the indie breakout number Katchi sera and followed it up with the chartbuster Aasai kooda. Talking about uncharted territories, the action genre is new for Balaji, too, whose filmography comprises the political satire LKG; the fantasy comedy Mookkuththi Amman; and Veetla Visesham, a remake of the Bollywood dramedy Badhaai Ho. Yet, Balaji promises an action flick that might be what fans of Suriya ordered. In Karuppu, he plays a lawyer by day and a vigilante at dusk, avatars that might be apt crowd pleasers. The teaser is full of meta references: Suriya introduces himself as Saravanan, his real name. The stylish finger gesture from Ghajini is back, and his role as barrister harks back to his role in the critically acclaimed Jai Bhim. There is also a reference to Rajinikanth's cult classic Baasha, when he leans on a table confidently and says he has another name — a line that occupies prime space in Tamil pop culture. Actor Dulquer Salmaan released the teaser's Malayalam version on social media. GK Vishnu is the movie's cinematographer, while R Kalaivanan is its editor. Suriya was last seen in the action thriller Retro, directed by Karthik Subburaj. The movie was a hit at the box office, erasing memories of his earlier movie Kanguvaa, also starring Disha Patani, that was critically panned. Trisha Krishnan's previous movie was Mani Ratnam's Thug Life.

And we are talking about Vidaamuyarchi, starring superstar Ajith Kumar and Trisha Krishnan, a South Indian action-thriller that's rewriting its fate online. Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, Vidaamuyarchi was one of 2025's most anticipated Tamil releases. The film boasted a massive budget of Rs 350 crore. But despite the hype, it crashed at the box office, earning just Rs 81 crore in India and Rs 135.65 crore globally. A commercial disaster, by all measures. Why is Vidaamuyarchi trending now? Despite its theatrical failure, Vidaamuyarchi is now trending on Netflix and climbing streaming charts rapidly. With an IMDb rating of 6.8/10, viewers are now discovering the film's gripping second half, layered performances, and emotional twists that somehow got lost in the big-screen noise. Vidaamuyarchi's Plot The film tells the story of Arun and Kayal, a couple on the verge of divorce who decide to take one last road trip through Azerbaijan. But what begins as a final goodbye turns into a nightmare; they're kidnapped, and a shocking secret turns the entire story upside down. With stunning visuals and a suspense-filled narrative, the climax leaves audiences stunned. The film's resurgence shows a growing trend in South Indian cinema films flopping in theatres, only to thrive on OTT platforms. Whether it's changing audience preferences or the power of convenience, Vidaamuyarchi is proof that a second chance can make all the difference.
