Kanguva is one of the most-anticipated movies of the year 2024, and on November 14, 2024, the film will hit theatres. The anticipation for the film is on another level due to its stellar star cast. Talking about the star-studded star cast of Kanguva, Suriya is playing 'Kanguva' and 'Francis Theodore', Bobby Deol will be seen as 'Udhiran', Disha Patani as 'Angelina', Yogi Babu as 'Colt 95', and Redin Kingsley as 'Accelerator'. The film is directed by Siva, who has previously directed renowned movies like Charlie Chaplin, Sreeram, Manasellam, Nenunnanu, Gowtam SSC, Boss, and many more.
Before the film's release, there were many fan theories about Kanguva's plot, but no concrete revelation from its makers. Most of the fan theories revolved around the possibility that the film's plot would be centred around a fantasy setting. However, in a conversation with Cinema Express, Kanguva's director, Siva, opened up about the film's plot and clearly stated that it is not a 'fantasy film'.

The critically acclaimed filmmaker, Siva admitted that although his film has a 'mythological-like setting', he added that his film's lead, Suriya, has no superpowers. Refuting all the rumours that Kanguva is a fantasy film, Siva also added that his movie is based on the historical events that happened 1500 years ago in Tamil Nadu. The director said:
"Kanguva is not a fantasy film and Suriya sir's character does not have any superpowers. I have always wanted to create an imaginary world and I managed to realise that dream with Kanguva."
Kanguva has a series of producers, including K. E. Gnanavel Raja, V. Vamsi Krishna Reddy, Pramod Uppalapati, Studio Green, and UV Creations. The film required a lot of financial backing because Siva, the movie's director wanted to use the latest tech in the movie world to bring his imaginary world onto the big screen.
In order to achieve this, Siva has reportedly bought a lot of high-end equipment to enhance the visuals of his period film. According to a report in the Financial Express, Kanguva's budget is between Rs. 300 crore and Rs. 350 crore, which looks quite justified after seeing the breathtaking set designs and VFX, which is used in the film.
Kanguva marks the Tamil debut of popular Bollywood stars, Bobby Deol and Disha Patani. As per a report in the Financial Express, Suriya charged a hefty sum of Rs. 39 crores for playing the film's lead, while the movie's antagonist, Bobby Deol, took Rs. 5 crores. Talking about Disha Patani, who is playing the film's female lead, she has charged Rs. 3 crore. Suriya's fee is doing rounds on the internet as it is a whopping sum, which is seven times more than what Bobby charged for his role in the film. The huge amount speaks volumes about Suriya's massive fan following in the Tamil industry and across the South cinema.
The stage is set, and Siva's Kanguva is almost here. While the netizens are super excited about the film, it will be interesting to see whether it will go on to break box office records or not. For the uninitiated, Kanguva is released in 10 different languages worldwide. The makers of the film are quite confident about their film and are eager to create a massive uproar in the international market with Kanguva. The early reviews have already labelled Kanguva as a 'cult classic' and a 'Hit', but still, everything relies on the audiences. We wish all the luck to Kanguva's team ahead of its release on November 14, 2024.
