Suriya’s Career-Defining Blockbuster: ‘Kanguva’ Achieves Record-Breaking Collections
Star actor Suriya’s much-anticipated period action film, Kanguva, directed by Siva, has emerged as a monumental success. Featuring Disha Patani and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles, the movie was produced by KE Gnanavel Raja, Vamsi, and Pramod under the esteemed production houses Studio Green and UV Creations. With a substantial budget backing the film, it made its grand debut on the 14th of this month and has received an overwhelmingly positive reception, especially in the Telugu-speaking regions where it continues to perform remarkably well.
Blockbuster producer KE Gnanavel Raja recently shared his excitement about the film’s success:
KE Gnanavel Raja on the Film’s Impact
“After three years of dedicated work, the audience has rewarded *Kanguva* with an extraordinary success. The Telugu audience’s appreciation for quality cinema has once again been proven. In fact, the film has collected more in the Telugu market than in its home state of Tamil Nadu, making *Kanguva* the highest-grossing film in Suriya’s career. The collections in the Telugu market are continuing to rise, with multiplexes reporting packed screenings. We’re receiving outstanding feedback from Mythri Movie Distributors, who managed the release in the Nizam region, which adds to our joy,” he said.
Nationwide and North India Reception
KE Gnanavel Raja also highlighted the movie’s impressive performance in northern India: “Kanguva is showing strong weekday numbers, indicating a promising long-term run. The movie has had one of the best openings for a South Indian film in the North, and the audience response has been fantastic.”
High Production Values and Cinematic Excellence
The producer attributed part of the film’s success to its high production values and top-tier CGI work: “Audiences today love larger-than-life films, and with Kanguva, we created an entirely new world. We shot on both live locations and detailed sets, making it hard to differentiate between the two on screen. Director Siva’s support was invaluable, ensuring a seamless production process and integrating commercial elements without compromising the story’s authenticity,” he added.
Standout Performances
Suriya’s portrayal of two distinct characters has garnered immense praise: “The dedication and effort Suriya put into his dual roles are visible on screen, and his performance is being lauded by audiences and critics alike. Bobby Deol’s role has also become a standout feature, thanks to Siva’s insightful casting.”
Music and Technical Feedback
The soundtrack by Devi Sri Prasad has been another highlight, with songs like “Yolo,” “Fire Song,” and “Nayaka” resonating well with audiences. “We’ve received feedback about the background score being slightly loud. While it was a technical oversight rather than Devi Sri Prasad’s fault, we are making necessary adjustments in theaters to improve the audio experience,” Raja clarified.
Sequel and Upcoming Projects
Addressing rumors about Kanguva 2, Raja stated: “There is no truth to the reports about Deepika Padukone being cast as the heroine. Work on the sequel hasn’t started yet. Director Siva is committed to his next project with Ajith, after which we’ll begin preparations for Kanguva 2. Right now, we’re focused on promoting *Kanguva* and taking a short break before considering new scripts.”
Raja also shared news about upcoming projects: “We are gearing up for the release of Va Vaathiyar, featuring Karthi and produced by Studio Green. The release is expected around late January or February, with more announcements to follow.”
Kanguva continues to break records and captivate audiences, marking a significant milestone in Suriya’s illustrious career.
