Suriya-RJ Balaji’s ‘Karuppu’: Will the Wait Be Worth It? Release Date Coming Soon!

February 7, 2026 Published by Natarajan Karuppiah

The film ‘Karuppu’, starring actor Suriya and directed by RJ Balaji, has generated massive expectations since the day it was announced. Featuring a star-studded cast including Trisha, the film’s teaser was released last July and left fans in awe. However, with seven months passing since the teaser without further updates, fans were beginning to grow a bit weary.

Now, an exciting update has arrived to clear that fatigue.

Music director Sai Abhyankar recently shared a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account that has since gone viral. He wrote:

“Just watched the final cut of ‘Karuppu’. The long wait is worth it!”

Through this post, he confirmed that the filming and editing processes are fully complete. Reports suggest that the background score (BGM) work is currently in full swing.

Two primary reasons are being cited for the film’s delay:

VFX Work: It appears the visual effects for the film’s grand sequences took longer than initially planned. The production team reportedly refused to compromise on quality, ensuring a high-standard final product.

Business Negotiations: Delays in finalizing OTT and satellite television rights were also a significant factor.

Current information suggests that the hurdles regarding OTT and satellite rights have been resolved, and contracts are close to being signed. Following this, the team plans to announce the official release date and launch the trailer by late February or early March.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see the synergy between Suriya’s versatile acting and RJ Balaji’s unique directorial style in Karuppu.
