Indrans plays a touching role in ‘Karuppu’

In ‘Karuppu’, Indrans plays a man from Kerala who comes to Chennai seeking treatment for his daughter. After his jewellery gets stolen, he struggles to get justice as the court delays returning it to him. His emotional performance as a helpless father has received praise from audiences and critics alike. Interestingly, this film marks Indrans’ first appearance in Tamil cinema. Many viewers appreciated the realism and innocence he brought to the Malayalam-speaking character in the film.

Indrans shares honest feelings about the film

As reported by News 18, Indrans admitted that he initially felt nervous about acting in another language, especially alongside Suriya. “I usually feel scared acting in other language films. When I had to act with Suriya, I became even more nervous,” he said. He further explained that he agreed to the role mainly because the character was written as a Malayali. “They kept telling me that the character was a Malayali. That gave me confidence. Otherwise, I would not have done the film,” he shared honestly.

Indrans praises Suriya’s humble nature

During the interview, Indrans also praised Suriya for his kindness and humble behaviour on set. “I saw Suriya closely for the first time while acting in this film. I became tense after seeing him,” he recalled. However, the actor quickly added that Suriya made him feel comfortable with his warm nature. “Suriya is a very loving and humble person. In fact, when he is near you, his simplicity itself makes you feel nervous,” he said. Indrans also spoke about his respect for the Tamil language, saying, “Tamil is a respected language. I know only a little of it, so I never want to speak it wrongly and disrespect it.”
