Thursday, May 14, things were looking dire for RJ Balaji's Karuppu after the Tamil film missed its release date. However, the film was released a day later on May 15 and audiences have showered it with love, making it Suriya's biggest opener to date. Karuppu minted Rs 17.93 crore gross in India and looks to grow from strong word of mouth on the weekend. Amidst this, Ranabali actor Vijay Deverakonda took to social media to praise Suriya on his hard-earned comeback. The Telugu star shared that he loved all the love the film was receiving and asked him to "take a nice holiday."

After the film's delay on May 14, the industry turned out to support the film after the film was shared illegally in North India. Tamil stars Kamal Haasan, Dhanush and many others came out to speak out against piracy and back Karuppu and its team.
