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.
