The much-awaited release of Suriya’s upcoming film Kanguva has purportedly been postponed due to a potential box office clash with superstar Rajinikanth’s next big venture, Vettaiyan. Given the significant hype surrounding both films, this move is perceived as a calculated move to ensure that each film receives the attention it deserves. Here’s the latest update on this development.
One of the most anticipated films in Tamil cinema history is Siva’s Kanguva, which stars Suriya in the lead role and is described as a historical action drama. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of the film, which was initially scheduled for the holiday season later this year, because of its grand scale and Suriya’s captivating appearance in the first few teasers.
Reports, however, indicate that the release date was rescheduled because of worries over a potential box office conflict with Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan. Vettaiyan, which is helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is Rajinikanth and the youthful filmmaker’s second joint venture following the huge success of Jailer. With Rajinikanth’s unparalleled fan base and the buzz over Vettaiyan, the confrontation might have affected Kanguva’s box office results.
While there has been no official word from the makers of Kanguva on the new release date, industry insiders say that the picture might now enter theaters in early 2024. This would provide the picture a clear window for release, allowing it to possibly command the box office despite the shadow of a Rajinikanth film lurking over it. Awaiting more developments with great anticipation are Suriya and Tamil film fans. Although some find the postponement frustrating, it is thought to be a calculated move that might ultimately work in favor of both movies. Fans may expect to see Kanguva in all its glory, free from box office conflicts, since the new release date is anticipated to be revealed soon
