Suriya-Starrer Poised for Dussehra Release, Promises Time-Travel and a Possible Crossover
The upcoming Tamil film “Kanguva,” starring Suriya in the lead role, has been steadily building anticipation with its frequent promotional updates. The high-budget production, known for its lavish visuals, has already garnered immense interest thanks to Suriya’s established acting prowess and the two captivating teasers released so far. The audience, particularly in Tamil Nadu (Kollywood), is eagerly awaiting the film’s release on October 10th, 2024, with hopes that it might become the first-ever Tamil film to breach the coveted 1000-crore mark at the box office.
Adding to the excitement is the rumor circulating in Chennai that “Kanguva” might feature a special appearance by the ruthless villain character “Rolex” from Lokesh Kanagaraj’s cinematic universe. Played by Suriya himself, Rolex’s surprise introduction at the end of the film “Vikram” sent shockwaves through the audience. With “Kanguva” reportedly set across two timelines, sources claim that the present timeline might include a scene or two featuring Rolex. This inclusion is further anticipated to be revealed in the film’s trailer, expected to be released next month. Fans are highly enthusiastic about the prospect of witnessing Suriya reprise his role as the menacing Rolex on the big screen.
The film’s villain role is confirmed to be portrayed by Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, further amplifying expectations. Disha Patani takes on the role of the female lead, while Mahat plays a significant supporting character. The creative team boasts an impressive lineup, including dialogue writer Madhan Karky, screenwriters Siva and Aadhi Narayana, cinematographer Vetri, art director Milan, editor Nishad Yusuf, fight master Supreme Sundar, and music composer Devi Sri Prasad (Rockstar DSP). Siva takes the helm as the film’s director.
With its high-octane action sequences, epic story spanning across time periods, and the potential for a thrilling cinematic universe crossover, “Kanguva” appears poised to be a major cinematic event this Dussehra.
