The film Karuppu, which stars Suriya in the lead role, has been performing well at the box office since its release. Despite facing a one-day delay in its theatrical debut, the movie finally hit theaters on May 15, 2026. The delay was attributed to logistical challenges, though the film’s release coincided with a special approval from actor Thalapathy Vijay, who had granted permission for morning shows on May 14. The film’s strong run has been met with widespread acclaim, with audiences praising its storytelling and performances. Trisha’s celebration of the film’s success also included a lighthearted moment from the promotional phase. During the first day of the film’s premiere, she opted for a casual appearance, wearing a simple black T-shirt, jeans, and glasses. After the screening, she posed for photographs outside the venue, unaware that a large poster of Vijay was positioned behind her.#suriya #thalapathy_vijay #trisha_krishnan #karuppu #may_15_2026

Thanga Natchathiram Doesn't Spoof TVK Vijay: Natty Nataraj Tells NDTV The teaser of the Tamil film TN 2026—titled Thanga Natchathiram (Golden Star)—has sparked widespread discussion in Tamil Nadu, primarily due to its satirical take on contemporary politics. Directed by Umapathy Ramaiah, the film stars Natty Nataraj as the protagonist, Thanga Natchathiram Gulkand Kumar, a character whose journey critiques the transformation of politics from a service-oriented endeavor to a business-driven spectacle. The film’s narrative, which blends humor with sharp social commentary, has drawn comparisons to real-world political figures, though its creators have clarified that the protagonist is not modeled after Thalapathy Vijay, the actor-turned-politician who leads the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) party. Natty Nataraj, who plays Gulkand Kumar, described the script as a profound and humorous reflection on the state of modern politics. According to him, the story was narrated to him by Thambi Ramaiah, the father of director Umapathy Ramaiah, who emphasized how politics has shifted from a platform for public service to a lucrative industry. “Thambi Ramaiah told me that people used to enter politics to serve the public, but today it’s more about profit,” Natty explained. He added that the script’s message—that politics should be taught as a subject in schools—resonated deeply with him, prompting him to agree to star in the film. The film’s director, Umapathy Ramaiah, is a relative newcomer to the industry, having previously worked as a cinematographer. Despite his lack of experience, Natty expressed confidence in his ability to deliver a polished product.#thanga_natchathiram #natty_nataraj #thambi_ramaiah #umapathy_ramaiah #thalapathy_vijay
