    'Kanguva' inspired by 'Baahubali,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean'? Side-by-side comparison

    What's the story

    The recently released trailer of Suriya and Bobby Deol starrer Kanguva has drawn attention for its striking similarities to several iconic films.

    The movie, set to release on October 10, revolves around a conflict between two tribes led by Suriya and Deol.

    However, certain scenes, costumes, and props appear to mirror elements from other period battle films like Baahubali and the Hollywood film Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Baahubali similarities

    'Baahubali' influences in the 'Kanguva' trailer

    Several scenes from the Kanguva trailer bear a striking resemblance to SS Rajamouli's epic Baahubali: The Beginning.

    One such instance is a scene where Suriya wields a bow and arrow, mirroring Tamannaah Bhatia's character in the 2015 film.

    Another scene shows Suriya in a battle sequence, with his posture, the war backdrop, and even a bloodied hand closely resembling Prabhas's character in the same film.

    Poster comparison

    'Kanguva' poster mirrored 'Baahubali' clash?

    The similarities extend to the film's promotional material as well.

    Eagle-eyed netizens claim on social media that the poster for Kanguva featuring a face-off between Suriya and Deol is reminiscent of a Baahubali poster depicting a clash between Prabhas and the antagonist Rana Daggubati.

    Meanwhile, the tribal makeup and costumes in Kanguva have drawn comparisons with Mel Gibson's 2006 epic historical action-adventure film Apocalypto.

    The movie—known for its thrilling jungle combat scenes—seems to have influenced the aesthetic of Kanguva.

    Pirates resemblance

    In addition, Deol's look in Kanguva has been likened to the character of Kaalkeya from Baahubali.

    From the eye makeup to the hair, and even the elephant tusk ornaments, Deol's character appears to mirror Kaalkeya.

    Meanwhile, the sea battle scenes in the Kanguva trailer have also drawn comparisons with the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

    The ship and sea sequences in Kanguva bear a striking resemblance to those in Johnny Depp's fantasy swashbuckler film.
