Rajinikanth recently sent a video message to the audio launch of Suriya's fantasy action film, Kanguva, revealing a surprising fact about the movie's origins. The megastar disclosed that Kanguva was initially conceived for him, stemming from a conversation with director Siva during the filming of Annaatthe. Siva had written the period film with Rajinikanth in mind, but it eventually reached producer Gnanavel and Suriya.
Rajinikanth graciously acknowledged the change, expressing his enthusiasm for Siva's future projects. He praised Suriya, calling him a "gentleman" and likening him to his father, Shivakumar. Rajinikanth wished Kanguva immense success, saying, "I hope the film becomes a huge success." This heartfelt message demonstrates the mutual respect between the two Tamil cinema legends.
Directed by Siva and produced under Studio Green, Kanguva stars Suriya and features Bobby Deol as the antagonist. The Tamil-language film is slated for release on November 14, 2024. Initially expected to clash with Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan during Dussehra, Suriya opted for a solo release, showing respect for the megastar.
Rajinikanth's revelation has generated significant interest in Kanguva, with fans eagerly awaiting Suriya's performance. The film's success will be a testament to Suriya's capabilities and Siva's direction. As the release date approaches, excitement builds around this fantasy action film.
