Suriya’s work front
Karuppu marks a new entrant to Suriya’s lineup of movies ahead. The actor has kick-started another one of his projects with Venky Atluri as the director, where Mamita Baiju is playing the leading lady.
The actor was last seen in the film Retro, which failed to make a mark at the box office. Previously, his other movie, Kanguva, also met with a similarly disappointing fate.
