Suriya Confirms Kanguva’s New Release Plan
Kanguva, featuring Suriya in the lead role, was originally scheduled to hit theaters on October 10, aligning with the Dussehra festival. However, in light of the overlapping release date with Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan, Suriya addressed the postponement at the event. He emphasized that the decision was made out of respect for Rajinikanth, who he described as a senior figure and the “identity of Tamil cinema.”
Speaking to his fans, Suriya stated, “Superstar Rajinikanth is the identity of Tamil cinema. Releasing Kanguva with Vettaiyan is not the right choice. Kanguva is like a child, please pray for the movie, there are a lot of effort went into the movie.” He urged his supporters to stand by him and the Kanguva team as they prepare for the new release date.
Behind the Scenes Efforts of Kanguva
At the same event, Suriya commended the immense dedication and hard work of the Kanguva cast and crew. He revealed that over a thousand individuals have been involved in the making of the film, investing significant effort under challenging conditions. Suriya expressed confidence in the team’s dedication, believing it would be recognized and rewarded when the film finally premieres.
Acknowledging Rajinikanth’s stature in the industry, Suriya said, “On October 10, ‘Vettaiyan’ is coming. We should give way to the film out of respect. He is senior to me. He came to act when I was born. He has been an identity of Tamil cinema for over 50 years. I think it’s best if Superstar’s film comes out first.” This statement highlighted Suriya’s respect for the veteran actor’s long-standing influence in Tamil cinema.
