Suriya Gifts Mahindra BE6 Car to Karuppu Cinematographer GK Vishnu

Actor Suriya gifted a new Mahindra BE6 Batman edition car to cinematographer GK Vishnu for his work in the film Karuppu. GK Vishnu shared a photo with the car on Sunday on social media. He thanked Suriya and said the actor has a huge heart. The camera work in Karuppu got strong praise from both fans and critics. This gift came after the film did very well at the box office.

Karuppu released in theatres on May 15 and became a big hit. The film earned close to Rs 300 crore worldwide. In India alone it made Rs 200 crore. It is the 22nd Tamil film to cross Rs 100 crore in Tamil Nadu. It is also Suriya’s first film to reach that mark in the state. The movie ended a slow period at the Tamil Nadu box office that had lasted since August 2025. Directed by RJ Balaji, Karuppu stars Suriya, Trisha, RJ Balaji, Indrans, Swasika, and Natty Subramaniam. Music is by Sai Abhyankkar and editing is by R Kalaivanan.

While the film did great business, reviews were mixed. Many people liked Suriya’s performance and the hero scenes. But some felt the second half was weak and the writing was too easy. Still, the audience response stayed strong in theatres. The film marks the first time RJ Balaji and Suriya worked together. GK Vishnu’s visuals were a big reason for the film’s grand look and scale.

GK Vishnu started his career as a cinematographer with Atlee’s Mersal and later worked on Bigil. He also shot films like Ravanasura and Jawan. His work in Karuppu got special mention for its style and clarity. Next he will team up with Atlee again for the Allu Arjun film titled Raaka. Suriya is known to gift cars and bikes to his team after film success. He did the same for his crew during earlier films too.
