Suriya’s Karuppu did not announce its release date till now, and there was a buzz that it was planned for a Diwali release, but due to pending non-theatrical deals, the film was pushed to Summer 2026.
The team is considering multiple release options, such as the Republic Day weekend, a February release, and an early summer release, and the latest information is that the makers of Karuppu are also looking at a Pongal release as one of the options.
Can Suriya’s Karuppu face big films at Pongal-2026?
Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Sivakarthikeyan’s Parasakthi have already been announced for Pongal release, and facing competition with these two films will definitely be tough for Suriya and Prabhas—Maruthi’s The Raja Saab Tamil version will also be there for Pongal.
In Telugu, there will definitely be no screens for dubbed films, as the theaters will be packed with Telugu releases. Maybe the Karuppu team is thinking that one of the Tamil films for the festival, Jana Nayagan or Parasakthi, might be postponed, and then they will fill that slot.
