Actor Suriya has drawn fascinating parallels between his upcoming film "Kanguva" and Hollywood epics like "Braveheart," "The Lord of the Rings," and "Game of Thrones." Describing "Kanguva" as a "mighty valiant saga" set to release on November 14, Suriya expressed his long-standing desire for Indian cinema to create films of similar grandeur. Under the direction of Siva, he promised audiences a "never-seen-before" experience that blends history with a touch of futurism.
The film, which also stars Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, marks their Tamil cinema debuts. Deol, who plays the antagonist Udhiran, shared his enthusiasm about working with Suriya, noting that he was out of his comfort zone due to language barriers but felt supported throughout the process. He praised Siva for creating an environment that made the filming enjoyable.
Patani echoed Deol's sentiments, describing the supportive atmosphere on set as she navigated her lines in Tamil. She was inspired by Suriya’s dedication, stating, "To see him act in front of me every day was extremely inspiring."
With a budget exceeding ?350 crore, "Kanguva" represents a significant investment in storytelling, aiming to resonate with audiences across India. As Suriya and Deol noted, the trend of pan-Indian films is paving the way for broader cinematic appreciation, emphasizing that the world is now recognizing the diverse narratives emerging from Indian cinema.
