Why is Suriya's Kanguva special? A brother bond, rule break, and comeback

Suriya’s much-anticipated film Kanguva is locked and loaded. With just a day left for the release, the expectations are higher. Kanguva, which loosely translates to that of son of fire, can be called one of the most expensive films to be made in Suriya’s career. Tipped to be a period fantasy and helmed by Siva, the collaboration has been in talks since 2019, with fruitful works beginning to take place in 2021. Now, with all set for the release, here is why Kanguva is special for more than one reason.

Why is Kanguva special?

Suriya, who is one of the most beloved stars of the south cinema, has a special fanbase not only for the star he is but also for his experimentation with films. Known for choosing powerful scripts and roles, Kanguva too comes in line with this fashion, as we see Suriya trying out a period fantasy film this time. It also marks Suriya’s first full-fledged acting role in the last two years after the 2022 film Etharkkum Thunindhavan. Even as he made a powerful impact as Rolex in Vikram, along with other significant cameos, Kanguva will be that film that his fans have been waiting for.

But it looks like the makers of Kanguva have a hidden surprise, which is almost out in the open. The film will see the first time when the Sivakumar brothers onscreen together. Actor Karthi is expected to make a cameo appearance in the film, towards the climax of Kanguva and is touted to be the antagonist in the film which will be the sequel.
