Suriya Plays Santa for His ‘Karuppu’ Team
After smashing box office records with his blockbuster thriller ‘Karuppu,’ Tamil superstar Suriya is winning hearts in a whole new way – by giving back to the team that made it happen. In a gesture straight out of a feel-good film, Suriya has gifted brand-new Mahindra BE 6 electric luxury SUVs to three key members of his technical crew.
Music composer Sai Abhyankkar, editor Kalaivanan, and cinematographer G.K. Vishnu were each surprised with the futuristic EVs. Industry sources reveal the sleek electric SUVs are valued at around Rs 30 lakh each – a fitting thank-you note for their collective effort in turning ‘Karuppu’ into a monumental hit.
The gifts come right after the news that ‘Karuppu’ has officially crossed the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide, making it one of the biggest solo hits of Suriya’s career.
A Blockbuster Thanks You
Directed by RJ Balaji and starring Trisha Krishnan opposite Suriya, ‘Karuppu’ got everyone talking from day one. But it’s the behind-the-scenes magic that truly elevated the film. Sai Abhyankkar’s soundtrack became a chartbuster – fans can’t get enough of those beats. Editor Kalaivanan’s tight cuts and G.K. Vishnu’s striking visuals also earned massive praise from both critics and audiences.
By putting the spotlight on these off-screen stars, Suriya is sending a loud message: no one builds a blockbuster alone. “This is his way of saying thank you without words,” a source close to the production reveals. The Mahindra BE 6, with its high-tech features and eco-friendly design, adds a modern touch to the thanks.
Fans Celebrate Suriya’s Generous Side
Social media is buzzing with fans celebrating the gesture. Many are calling it a masterclass in appreciation. “From a Rs 300 crore film to Rs 30 lakh cars – Suriya knows how to value his team,” reads a popular tweet doing the rounds.
The actor has always been known for his down-to-earth nature, but this gift has taken the admiration to the next level. With ‘Karuppu’ still minting money and the songs trending, Suriya’s generosity is becoming just as talked about as the film itself.
