Suriya’s Kanguva and Vikram’s Thangalaan will be festival releases of 2024, confirms producer Gnanavel Raja

Suriya’s Kanguva is said to be one of his most expensive films. The movie also stars Bollywood actor Disha Patani. Earlier in an interview, the film’s director Siva had explained the meaning of his movie’s title.

Siva told Cinema Express that Kangu means ‘fire’ in Tamil, and Kanguva is about a person who can wield fire. “The mythology-like setting might lead someone to believe this is a fantasy. However, Kanguva is not a fantasy film and Suriya sir’s character does not have any superpowers,” he told the publication.

Thangalaan marks the first collaboration between Pa Ranjith and Vikram. The movie is based on a real event in the Kolar Gold Fields decades ago. Other than Vikram, the film also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, and Pasupathy in important roles. GV Prakash Kumar has composed the songs for the movie.

Vikram was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s blockbuster movie Ponniyin Selvan 1. The actor played the role of Chola prince Aditha Karikalan
