Tamil superstar Suriya's Kanguva is one of the most-awaited movies of 2024. With just a few months to the movie's wide release, producer Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green has revealed his plans to turn it into a franchise.
Kanguva will have a sequel, and its production will begin soon. Gnanavel Raja confirmed that Kanguva's second part will go into production in 2026.
A few decades ago, releasing films in two parts was considered unviable for Indian movies. However, filmmaker SS Rajamouli challenged that notion with his Baahubali series, inspiring filmmakers to dream of bigger stories and narrate them in instalments. Movie ideas with the potential for immediate sequels are now in demand.

Kanguva was initially touted to be just a single movie. However, it seems that the producers had bigger plans all along to expand its universe and capitalize on the movie's popularity.
At the moment, we have very little information about Kanguva part 2. The producers have been extra cautious to protect the project from leaks.
Judging from the teaser trailers, Kanguva is a fantasy drama that travels back and forth in time. Suriya is essaying a double role: a medieval warlord and an uber-cool modern man.
Suriya's portrayal of the ruthless warrior is already a big hit with movie buffs. Written and directed by Siva, Kanguva promises to be a visual spectacle, high on special effects.
Earlier, expressing confidence in Kanguva, Gnanavel Raja claimed that this film is "Tamil cinema's answer to Baahubali, RRR, and KGF." It is also touted to be the most expensive film in Suriya's career.
The shooting for the movie went on for more than a year. Kanguva is now all set to open in cinemas on October 10. The filmmakers have plans to release it in 30-plus languages worldwide.
