RJ Balaji reveals why CM Vijay turned down Karuppu: ‘I thanked him in the opening credits’ | Tamil News

3 min readKochiMay 27, 2026 10:05 PM IST Director RJ Balaji has finally rejuvenated an ailing Tamil cinema, delivering a massive box-office hit it had been in dire need of since the beginning of this year. Although the industry had received bona fide blockbusters like Thaai Kizhavi and Youth, both of which raked in several times their shoestring budgets, it desperately needed a big-ticket film to draw in large crowds, and Balaji’s Karuppu turned out to be exactly that. Starring Suriya, Trisha Krishnan, and Balaji himself in the lead roles, the movie has thus far grossed Rs 253.26 crore worldwide, and its India nett collection stands at Rs 159.20 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Interestingly, Karuppu has offered some respite to both Suriya and Trisha, who had been traversing a rough patch in their respective careers.

Despite efforts, the illegal activity continues unabated, with the most recent and notable victim being director H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan, touted as the swansong of actor Joseph Vijay, who currently serves as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. During a recent interview, renowned producer G Dhananjheyan urged the central and state governments to crack down on those engaged in piracy, book them under stringent sections of the law, and ensure they receive strict punishment. Pointing out that only a united, strong movement can keep the illegal act at bay, Dhananjheyan maintained that the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA) recently apprised Vijay of the situation and sought his support in the battle against it.

He speaks as someone who has spent his entire career, across films like Kabali, Kaala, Madras and Sarpatta Parambarai, arguing that the stories a society tells about itself are inseparable from the power structures it maintains.
