Trisha Krishnan Rebukes Karuppu Invite Claims After Chennai Audio Launch
Trisha Krishnan said she never got the invite to Karuppu’s audio launch, then brushed off criticism with a short reply after the April 26 event in Chennai. The dispute has pushed promotion decisions around the Suriya film into public view just weeks before Karuppu reaches theatres on May 14.
April 26 in Chennai
Trisha said she had forgotten she even starred in Karuppu after being left out of most of the promotional material, a claim that made the audio-launch absence look less like a missed appearance and more like a pattern. Team Karuppu had already released the first look of her as Preethi, showing her as a lawyer in a courtroom and dancing in a green saree.
When a fan post on X said there was misogyny thrown at her and called it a disgrace if she was not invited to the event and ignored from promos on purpose, she reposted it and wrote, “Exactly!!!” She later shared a post that read, “Trisha has never shied from promoting her films. Trisha’s track record of being present at her film’s events speaks for itself.”
Suriya and Trisha
Trisha and Suriya have worked together before, in Mounam Pesiyadhe in 2002, Aayutha Ezhuthu in 2004 and Aaru in 2005. That history made the missing invite harder to dismiss as a routine scheduling miss, especially once some Suriya fans began criticizing her after she said she never got the invite.
She then answered one critic with a line that kept the tone dry and unmistakable: “Guess my invite got lost in the mail:)” In a separate exchange, when a fan asked what the last film she did with Suriya before Karuppu was, she replied, “Thank you. Even I forgot. Good to know they set a reminder now atleast.”
Aditi Ravindranath
Executive producer Aditi Ravindranath appeared to side with Trisha after she said she had been sidelined by the Karuppu team, and that puts extra weight on how the film’s promotion is being handled. The reaction now sits inside the campaign for RJ Balaji’s film rather than outside it, which means Karuppu’s rollout is already carrying a public-relations problem before the May 14 release.
For Trisha, the practical takeaway is simple: she has put the burden back on the team and answered the criticism in public, not behind the scenes. For Karuppu, the sharper issue is whether the release campaign can move past the invite story before theatres open on May 14.
