Suriya’s film ‘Kanguva’, originally scheduled to release on October 10, which would have led to a box office clash with Rajinikanth’s ‘Vettaiyan’. There had been reports suggesting that the makers of Kanguva were considering postponing its release to avoid this clash. Suriya recently addressed the issue during the audio launch of ‘Meiyazhagan’, a film backed by Suriya and Jyotika under their 2D Entertainment banner. At the event, Suriya expressed his opinion that Vettaiyan should be the first to release.
Suriya shares details on Kanguva release
During his speech at the audio launch, Suriya said to an enthusiastic crowd, “On October 10, Rajinikanth sir’s Vettaiyan is releasing. Respecting the Superstar’s 50-year legacy, and the fact that he has been entertaining us right from our birth, I think his film should come. He has been the identity of Tamil cinema, and I hope you will support my decision.”
Speaking about Kanguva, Suriya added, “Kanguva is the result of a lot of hard work of over 1000 people for 2.5 years to deliver a really special film for Tamil cinema. I believe that hard work will not go to waste. I believe you would give the love and respect the film deserves… I hope you support me, and make the birthday a celebration, almost like a festival. Your love and support is always needed.”
