According to Balaji, Aamir Khan sent a congratulatory message directly to Suriya after the film’s release, which was later forwarded to him.

Balaji also addressed the film’s reception, acknowledging that Karuppu faced criticism and mixed reactions on social media despite its commercial triumph.
Sharing his perspective, he credited the film’s opening portions for connecting strongly with viewers and helping it withstand online scrutiny.
“I communicated the film correctly. Otherwise, I couldn’t have stood up against the criticism from today’s social media. People trust me, so I need to tell the truth. We presented a good story in the first half. That’s why, even though there wasn’t much story in the second half, audiences still enjoyed it,” said Balaji.

Released on 15 May, Karuppu has emerged as one of the highest-grossing Tamil films in recent years. Within just 15 days of release, the film crosses the Rs 300 crore mark globally.
Announcing the achievement on Friday, Balaji posted, “#Karuppu 300* not out @Suriya_offl”
The latest figures mean that Karuppu has moved ahead of Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna’s 2023 blockbuster Varisu, which recorded a lifetime worldwide collection of ₹297.55 crore.
However, the film still trails Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, which currently holds a worldwide total of ₹333.67 crore.
