'Kanguva': Suriya's fantasy actioner postponed; here's why
Tamil actor Suriya has announced that the release of his upcoming film Kanguva will be postponed to avoid a box-office clash with superstar Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan. The announcement was made during the audio launch of his brother Karthi's film Meiyazhagan in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Both Kanguva and Vettaiyan were initially set to release on October 10.
'Rajinikanth has been Tamil cinema's identity for 50 years'
Suriya further said, "On October 10, Vettaiyan is coming. We should give way to the film out of respect. He [Rajinikanth] is senior to me. He has been an identity of Tamil cinema for over 50 years." "The child's birthday is on the day when it is born. To celebrate its birthday and to make it a festival, I believe you will be with me. Please pray for Kanguva's team. Let it be an important day for all."
'Kanguva' team worked hard in testing climatic conditions: Suriya
Suriya said, "For over two and a half years, more than 1,000 people have worked hard day and night for Kanguva just to present a special film in Tamil cinema. From [director] Siva to the entire cast and crew, they worked so hard in testing climatic conditions for two and a half years." He added that he believes the audience will "give that love and respect" to the film.
