Tamil sensation Suriya has set the net aflame with the launch of a stunning new poster from his new film Karuppu.

First Look Suggested Dark Shades and Mythological Overtones
The first poster, that was released in June, provided viewers with a look into the film’s dark atmosphere. Resplendent in blood-red tones, it showed Suriya brandishing a huge machete, standing amidst tridents, statues, and religious symbols, foreshadowing themes of mythology, conflict, and revenge. The title Karuppu—which is “black” in Tamil—promises a story full of darkness, intensity, and moral grayness.
A Promising Collaboration with RJ Balaji
Written and directed by RJ Balaji, who has given us his earlier successes Mookuthi Amman and Veetla Visesham, Karuppu is produced by Dream Warrior Pictures. The technical team for the film comprises GK Vishnu handling the camera and Sai Abhyankar for the music. With its mass marketability and complex narrative, Karuppu releases this Diwali, and expectations soar high.
Fans are waiting with bated breath for today’s teaser release to catch a first look at what is promising to be one of Suriya’s grimmest and most transformational roles yet.
