Speaking with Vikatan, RJ Balaji said about Karuppu’s plot, “When the world is going through an extremely difficult phase, what if a superhero arrives to put an end to that suffering? We have portrayed that in a massy and action-packed way, how he rises, overcomes hardships, defeats evil, and restores goodness.”
The filmmaker added, “When I watched the film during editing, Suriya Sir’s eyes and screen presence were outstanding. That’s what truly matters for a star. Even in a crowd of ten people, he stands out on his own. In this space, there is simply no one who can match him.”
