Trisha celebrated her 43rd birthday on May 4, a date that coincided with the historic state election victory of Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. She was also prominently seated in the front row during Vijay’s official swearing-in ceremony as Chief Minister at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on May 10.
Fans Read into the Chief Minister Vijay Connection
The comment section beneath the actress's post quickly transformed into a space for fans to decode her words, with many interpreting "one more for the win" as a double celebration of her professional success and Vijay's political ascent.
While a section of users focused strictly on the box office validation of her latest film, a large number of comments directly tied the caption to her well-documented support for the newly elected Chief Minister. Observers noted that the Karuppu production house, Dream Warrior Pictures, had similarly issued a public note of thanks to Chief Minister Vijay earlier in the week, expressing gratitude after his administration granted special permissions for early morning screenings of the movie.

‘Karuppu’ Dominates the Box Office
Despite initial hurdles, directed by RJ Balaji, Karuppu has sustained an impressive commercial run despite facing unexpected logistics issues on its scheduled opening day. Originally slated for a May 14 rollout, financial complications delayed the film's release by 24 hours, forcing theatres to refund advance bookings.
Once screenings officially commenced on May 15, the movie experienced substantial audience turnout. Industry trackers report that Karuppu collected INR 12.75 crore net in India on Tuesday, bringing its five-day domestic net total to INR 96.10 crore. Globally, the fantasy action drama has grossed over INR 161 crore, officially establishing it as the highest-grossing film of Suriya’s career and the biggest Tamil box office hit of 2026 so far.
The project marks the first directorial collaboration between Suriya and RJ Balaji, as well as a highly anticipated on-screen reunion for Suriya and Trisha, who last shared the screen together two decades ago in the 2005 film Aaru.
