Tamil film Karuppu, starring Suriya and Trisha, recently made its OTT debut following a successful theatrical run. While the film continues to garner acclaim for its larger-than-life cinematic experience and Suriya's performance, several viewers slammed the makers, pointing out that certain visual effects and CGI shots appeared underwhelming on the OTT screens. Director and actor RJ Balaji recently addressed the criticism, acknowledging the shortcomings and apologising to audiences for the same.
