Suriya’s much-anticipated film "Karuppu" is gearing up for release, and the excitement among fans is palpable as it will be the first major film to hit theatres in Tamil Nadu following the recent election results. Directed by RJ Balaji and featuring Trisha Krishnan in a leading role, "Karuppu" has generated a strong buzz, especially given its rural backdrop and star-studded cast.

In recent years, early morning film screenings have been discontinued in Tamil Nadu, with even the biggest star vehicles not permitted to start before 9 AM due to government-imposed restrictions. Now, with Thalapathy Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam poised to form the new government, movie buffs are hopeful for change. Suriya’s devoted following has taken to social media, appealing directly to Vijay, the soon-to-be Chief Minister, to revive the tradition of early morning and benefit shows that once defined Tamil cinema’s celebratory atmosphere.

Fans argue that Vijay’s deep roots in the film industry position him uniquely to enact reforms benefiting both audiences and the industry. As per reports, there is widespread belief that his leadership will usher in positive changes for the state’s entertainment sector. The request to allow early shows for "Karuppu" has become a rallying point for cinephiles eager to see Tamil cinema regain its festive grandeur.

All eyes are now on the new government’s next steps. With "Karuppu" leading the way, fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely to see if early morning screenings will make a triumphant return to Tamil Nadu theatres.
