The teaser of "Vishwanath & Sons" was released two days ago. Suriya and Mamitha Baiju's chemistry has been called "promising" and fans are hoping for a good romantic family entertainer. On the other hand, "Karuppu" seems to be a more intense film. There was a lot of speculation around the release of this movie. It was supposed to come sometime in April. R J Balaji had assured fans of a release date via Instagram. He said, "Now, back to the grind, we are resuming work on 'Karuppu.' I understand the disappointment the fans, especially Suriya’s fans, have, as this statement has been made multiple times before. Of course, it has been a long wait for me, too. I have been working on this for almost two years."
Suriya is playing a lawyer who gets possessed by the deity in "Karuppu." R J Balaji had added in his earlier Instagram Live, "Your wait will be worth it. I am also not in the mindset to take more time for this. Within a week or 10 days, we will meet you with news about the film’s release date. I will also say that the film is not releasing on April 10." Sai Abhyankkar is the music composer of the film.
