Karuppu is riding high on praise and solid box office numbers, but right in the middle of all the celebration, a single omission from Suriya’s thank-you post has sent Tamil film Twitter into a frenzy — and honestly, it’s hard to ignore.

What Did Suriya Actually Write?
After Karuppu released on May 15, 2026, Suriya took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to pen a heartfelt gratitude note for the cast and crew. He thanked editor Kalaivanan, music composer Sai Abhyankkar, cinematographer GK Vishnu, and director RJ Balaji, among others.
To Sai Abhyankkar, he wrote: “No words to thank you. Happy for the love you are getting. You are the backbone for our film to have this level of vibe and celebration in theaters.” To RJ Balaji he added: “You promised me a blockbuster and you’ve also earned everybody’s love while delivering it. Respect to your Manifestation powers. Shine brighter.”
A warm, well-worded note — except for one glaring gap.
The Missing Name: Trisha Krishnan
In the entire gratitude post, Suriya did not mention his co-star Trisha Krishnan — and fans were quick to notice. While some gave Suriya the benefit of the doubt, calling it an honest oversight, others questioned him directly for skipping his leading lady from the acknowledgment entirely.
The controversy stings a little more given that Trisha had previously hinted at not being invited to Karuppu‘s audio launch, saying: “Guess my invite got lost in the mail.” That earlier moment already had fans raising eyebrows — and this omission added fresh fuel to a simmering conversation.

Another Karuppu Controversy — Chinmayi Sripaada’s Revelation
Adding to the conversation around Trisha’s role in the film, singer and dubbing artist Chinmayi Sripaada revealed she was “afraid” to disclose that she had dubbed for Trisha in Karuppu, saying: “Hope it will help me work without fear.” The remark pointed to unspoken tensions around the film’s production that fans are now connecting to Suriya’s omission.
Suriya has been one of Tamil cinema’s most beloved and respected stars for over two decades, which is precisely why this controversy feels surprising to fans — a simple mention could have avoided it all.
