Overview
- Chinmayi Sripaada, following Friday’s theatrical release of Karuppu on May 15, said on X that she dubbed for Trisha Krishnan and was afraid to share it because of backlash after Leo.
- She wrote that recording a few scenes set off painful memories and that she cried while dubbing.
- She thanked director RJ Balaji for the job and said she worried her involvement could bring pushback to him and his family.
- She was expelled from the Tamil Dubbing Union in 2018 after naming its president during #MeToo, and her 2023 work on Leo drew union condemnation and a reported ₹50,000 penalty claim against the filmmakers.
- Early reports say Karuppu is drawing strong audiences, and she said a successful run could help build support to lift bans on her and other artists.
