Honestly, I appreciate the gesture but shouldn't a CM be focusing on more pressing issues than film success? Our infrastructure and education need urgent attention. Just saying 🤷♀️
Suriya's look in Karuppu is awesome! That salt-and-pepper beard suits him perfectly. From 'Singam' to this, he keeps reinventing himself. RJ Balaji as director is a bold choice too - comedy actor turning serious filmmaker.
Interesting to see Kamal Haasan also chiming in. The film industry in TN really feels like a family. Hope Karuppu does well internationally too - Indian regional cinema deserves more global recognition.
Trisha and Suriya chemistry is always magic! Remember 'Ghajini'? Now they reunite in Karuppu. But I wish the film had a better title - 'Karuppu' sounds too generic honestly. Content matters more though!
Proud moment for Tamil cinema! CM Vijay recognizing artistic achievement shows cultural sensitivity. However, I hope similar attention is given to independent filmmakers and smaller productions who struggle without star power. 🤞
