⚖️ A Divine Courtroom Battle
Did You Know? The core concept of Karuppu was built around a fascinating “What If” scenario by director RJ Balaji. He wanted to explore what would happen if a powerful, mythological deity was forced to fight modern social injustice not just with superhuman strength, but by navigating the complex, corrupt maze of the Indian legal system!
