Suriya’s Karuppu is one of the most interesting films set to release in Kollywood this May. The movie held its audio launch event last night, where director RJ Balaji addressed the reason behind the missing release date on its posters.

He explained that the team has deliberately avoided mentioning the release date in their promotional material. According to him, including the date could invite issues from the censor board. He also confirmed that the film is gearing up for a May 14, 2026 release, asking audiences to get ready for the fireworks.

This decision is in line with the latest CBFC guidelines, which state that a film should not display its release date until the censorship process is completed. As a result, the makers have kept the date off both offline and online posters.

Karuppu stars Trisha as the female lead, alongside Yogi Babu, Indrans, Natty Subramaniam, Swasika, and Sshivada in key roles. The film is produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, with music composed by Sai Abhyankkar.

The Tamil Film Producers Council has taken two important decisions to improve the way films are made and released in the industry.

As per the report from Variety, the council announced that medium to big-budget films will follow a revenue-sharing model between producers and actors.

This means stars will take a share in profits instead of high upfront fees. The move is expected to reduce financial pressure on producers.

Secondly, while theatre associations demanded an eight-week gap, the council has decided to continue with the existing 28-day window before films release on OTT platforms.

Ravi Teja is currently busy with Irumudi, directed by Shiva Nirvana and the shooting is nearing its completion. Meanwhile, an interesting update has emerged about his upcoming projects.

As earlier reported by 123telugu, Ravi Teja is set to collaborate with Hasith Goli for a new film. Now, the latest buzz suggests that the project will be produced by Dil Raju, adding more weight to the combination.

An official announcement will be made soon and the title of the film will be revealed. With a promising team coming together, expectations are already building around this project.

Lately, there have been speculations that Chiranjeevi-Bobby’s new film will have another producer apart from KVN Productions. The PR team has issued a statement dismissing the rumors as baseless and untrue.

It is said that KVN Productions is fully committed to the project and is eagerly looking forward to commencing the prestigious project. The rumors started as the production house was going through a challenging phase.

The details about the pooja ceremony and regular shoot will be announced very soon. Megastar will be seen as an aged gangster in this flick. Thaman will compose the tunes for this big-ticket entertainer.

Actress Mehreen Pirzada recently shared the joyful news of her marriage to Arsh Aulakh, a milestone she described as deeply personal. The couple officially tied the knot on the morning of Sunday, April 26, 2026. This significant life event has quickly become a trending topic among her followers and the film community.

The wedding was held as a traditional ceremony in the serene setting of Himachal Pradesh. Surrounded only by their closest family and friends, the couple opted for a private celebration without any prior public announcements. This intimate approach allowed the pair to enjoy their special day away from the media spotlight.

Shortly after the ceremony, the F2 actress posted several stunning photos on social media, which immediately went viral. These images offered a glimpse into the beautiful event and the couple’s happiness. The high-quality snapshots have since been shared widely by fans and media outlets alike.

Swayambhu has been facing multiple delays, keeping it in the news for a while now. The film was initially slated for an April 10 release, but it got postponed due to pending post-production work.

There were also reports that it might take over the April release slot of Peddi, but that hasn’t happened either. The latest update suggests that the film’s extensive CG work is still incomplete.

Award-winning cinematographer K. K. Senthil Kumar is personally overseeing the graphics process, which is said to be massive in scale.

This has resulted in further delays, as the team is taking extra care to ensure quality. With no official release date announced yet, Swayambhu continues to remain under production pressure.

Gaaya Padda Simham is shaping up to be a crucial release for its lead cast, Tharun Bhascker, Faria Abdullah, and JD Chakravarthy and will be released on May 1, 2026.

At a time when all three are looking to regain strong box office momentum, this crime comedy has become a must-click film for each of them.

The film has generated decent buzz thanks to its quirky promos and unique tone. The combination of crime and comedy has caught attention, and there is some curiosity among audiences.

However, the bigger question is whether this interest will translate into footfalls. The current summer phase has been quite dull, with even notable releases struggling to make an impact.

In such a scenario, a mid-range film like Gaaya Padda Simham faces a tough challenge. Without strong word-of-mouth, sustaining at the box office could be difficult.
