“Kanguva,” the highly anticipated Indian Tamil-language fantasy action film directed by Siva and featuring Suriya in a dual role has faced some delays, and Studio Green, the production house behind the film, has been navigating several factors. Producer Dhananjeyan defended Studio Green’s decisions regarding release dates. He emphasized that significant financial investments are involved in high-budget films like “Kanguva”. The team carefully plans release dates to maximize revenues and minimize risks.
“Kanguva” is an intriguing tale that weaves together the past and the present. In the year 1678, a valiant warrior succumbs to an unknown disease. His legacy echoes through time, leaving behind both valor and a medical mystery. Fast forward to the present, where a curious young woman embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind this warrior’s story. As she delves deeper, she unravels secrets that bridge the gap between centuries, seeking answers and illumination in an imaginary world.
The film’s tagline, “The past, present, and future. All echo one name!” hints at an epic saga. “Kanguva” promises a raw and rustic world, offering a new visual experience to the audience. Expect human emotions, powerful performances, and never-before-seen action sequences on a massive scale. Suriya, along with Disha Patani, plays the titular characters, and the film is directed by Siva, known for his blockbuster hits. Suriya recently completed his part of the shoot, and the film’s cinematography is handled by Vetri Palanisamy. The musical score is composed by ‘Rockstar’ Devi Sri Prasad. Studio Green, in collaboration with top distribution houses, plans to release “Kanguva” worldwide.
Fans have expressed their opinions, urging for a Diwali release. However, the production team must balance fan enthusiasm with strategic considerations. Fans have been comparing the updates for “Kanguva” with another film called “Leo.” The difference lies in the fact that “Leo” already has a fixed release date, allowing its team to provide regular updates. In contrast, “Kanguva” is yet to finalize a release date. “Kanguva” is a grand project, being made in 10 languages and set for a 3D release. Studio Green aims to ensure a pan-India reach, but this ambitious scale requires meticulous planning. While fans eagerly await this fantasy flick, the production team is working diligently to create a memorable cinematic experience.
While “Kanguva” has generated some buzz, there have been a few controversies surrounding the film. The decision to cast Bollywood actress Disha Patani as the female lead has drawn criticism. Some fans believe that a Tamil or South Indian actress would have been a better choice for an authentic portrayal of the character. Director Siva’s previous film, “Annathe,” received mixed reviews, which has led to skepticism about his ability to deliver a compelling film this time. The film’s title and promotional material feature fire prominently.
Director Siva has clarified that while “Kanguva” is not a fantasy film, it draws inspiration from ancient times when fire was worshipped. The connection with fire remains intriguing. Despite these controversies, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of “Kanguva”, which is Suriya’s first pan-India movie. Let’s hope it lives up to the expectations!
