Superstar Rajinikanth was invited as one of the chief guests at the audio release event of ‘Kanguva.’ However, Rajinikanth expressed regret for not being able to attend in person due to his shooting commitments.
but he sent a heartfelt video message wishing Suriya and the entire ‘Kanguva’ team. He praised the talents of ‘Kanguva’ director Siva, who previously directed him in 2021 drama ‘Annaatthe.’
Rajinikanth said, “I told Siva to write a period film for me, it’ll be very good if we work on it together. He said he’ll definitely think about it. So, when he wrote the story, Gnanavel Raja (of Studio Green Production House) must have been like, this is very good. Let’s change it a little and make a film. But Suriya didn’t know anything about this. Anyways, Siva will make me another period film.”
Rajinikanth also praised for Suriya and said, “I see Sivakumar’s grace, attitude, honesty and intelligence in Suriya, he is such a gentleman. Suriya has all his father’s qualities in him, a lion’s kid can’t be a cat. He puts his heart and soul into every film he makes, to make something special for the audience. I pray for Kanguva’s success.”
Suriya last seen in the 2022 film ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan,’ spoke about returning to the screen after a break. “It’s been 27 years, and you all know I have had many ups and downs. But for Suriya (sun) to rise, it has to set first.
I’m glad I had these falls,” he said, adding, “I wouldn’t have such a great comeback otherwise. Even in archery, you must pull back an arrow to propel it forward. Kanguva will do that.”
Made with a budget exceeding RS 300 crore, Kanguva is a fantasy drama weaving together the past and future. Featuring Suriya as a tribal warlord, with Bobby Deol and Disha Patani also in pivotal roles. ‘Kanguva’ will be released in theatres on 14th November 2024.
