Suriya in and as Kanguva
Suriya’s latest film, Kanguva, which hit the big screens on Children’s Day, faced major backlash for its outdated storyline despite receiving praise for Suriya’s performance. Directed by Siva, the film had a promising run at theaters, with expectations of crossing ₹35 crore on its opening day due to its high budget. However, it fell short, managing to become the highest opening collection in Suriya’s career but not reaching the anticipated figures.
