'Kanguva' overcame technical issues to achieve box office success
Despite early morning shows being delayed by nearly an hour due to technical issues, Kanguva still managed to perform well at the box office.

'Kanguva' marks significant milestones for Suriya and director Siva
Kanguva is special as it marks Suriya's return to the silver screen after two years. It also marks director Siva's comeback after the disappointing performance of his last film, Annaatthe. Despite all the pressures, Kanguva has stayed true to its theme of being a war film that shifts between two timelines—the present and the past.
