4 min readKochiMar 22, 2026 01:20 PM IST Not just Suriya’s fans, but even the Tamil star himself has pinned high hopes on the upcoming action drama Karuppu, expecting it to finally let him break free from his ongoing dry spell. Following the colossal bombing of director Siva’s Kanguva (2024) and the underperformance of Karthik Subbaraj’s critically acclaimed Retro (2025), Suriya is in dire need of a bona fide success and is hopeful that the RJ Balaji directorial will be it. Unlike his previous filmmaking ventures, such as the Nayanthara-starrer Mookuthi Amman (2020) and his own Veetla Vishesham (2022), Balaji has opted for a larger canvas this time, aiming to ensure that Karuppu exudes mass appeal and impresses a wide range of audiences. While the movie will encompass everything one would expect from a Balaji directorial, he recently revealed that Karuppu would also fully satisfy Suriya’s fans. In a conversation with Times of India, he also mentioned that his aim was to create something like ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth’s Baashha (1995), Muthu (1995), and Padayappa (1999), which …

Even though the release of his political action drama, Jana Nayagan, remains in limbo with no respite in sight, Tamil star “Thalapathy” Vijay seems to have moved on and returned to the helm of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), as it gears up for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. On Sunday, January 25, Vijay took part in a massive party event in Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram), where he addressed the TVK cadre and assured them that he wouldn’t yield to political pressure. “The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has directly surrendered to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has indirectly surrendered to it. We do not bow down to any pressure. Does this face look like it would succumb to pressure? That will never happen,” Vijay reportedly said while addressing the gathering. Describing the upcoming state polls as a “democratic battle,” he urged party activists to become the commanders who lead TVK to victory.

Before Jana Nayagan, Vijay had Mersal — the movie mired in controversy over its critical take on GST, medical malpractice and Digital India | Tamil News

While Jana Nayagan is struggling to reach theatres on the earlier announced date of January 9, due to the non-receipt of the certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), fans of ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay are reminded once again of the tumultuous days leading up to the release of Mersal (2017), helmed by Atlee, which was also rocked by numerous controversies. Even as Jana Nayagan is facing resistance solely from the CBFC, Mersal encountered objections from various quarters, with political parties and even a section of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) raising concerns over the movie’s content. Starring Vijay in a triple role, Mersal centres on the rampant medical malpractices in the country and the government’s inability to ensure free and quality healthcare for its citizens. The movie’s turbulent period began when producer A Rajendran of Film Factori approached the Madras HC regarding the movie’s title, claiming he had registered similar titles, Merrasalaitan and Naan Merrasalaitan, with the Tamil Film Producers Council in 2015. He pointed out that he had been renewing their registration every …
