Record-Breaking Business Deals Before Theatrical Release
In a remarkable development, 'Karuppu' has reportedly struck a staggering business deal worth more than Rs 110 crore even before its official theatrical release. According to industry reports from Lets Cinema, the film's makers have successfully sold multiple rights, including:
