Jyotika talks about the importance of box office
During the discussion, the host compared ‘Karuppu’ to Kamal Haasan’s ‘Vikram’ and noted that while the film may not necessarily be considered Suriya’s best work critically, it provided the festive theatrical experience that fans wanted.Responding to the statement, Jyotika spoke about the importance of balancing storytelling with commercial success in cinema.“We are very busy. Suriya loves to tell good stories and always makes sure that there is a story in every film. But box office numbers are also required, I think, for heroes. Or for actors, any actor, any budget. Nobody is here to lose. So, it is very important for them to also produce numbers,” she said.
Jyotika says ‘Karuppu’ has its own soul
Jyotika also explained why she feels ‘Karuppu’ stands out from ordinary mass artists. According to her, the film combines fan service moments with emotional core and meaningful storytelling.“Definitely, it’s very overwhelming. And if you watch Karuppu’s film, besides it being an absolute fan and a commercial film, there’s a story going on. He’s playing a god, and there’s something in the script for sure.”
It’s not just one of your average commercial films. It has its own spirit. It was presented differently for the masses to see. But in the last 10 minutes of the film, Suriya’s performance is truly amazing.
We are so overwhelmed and so happy with love. “It’s a celebration at home.”
