This year’s Diwali season offered a big push for films. Three films that were released such as Lucky Baskhar, KA and Amaran rocked the box office equally.

In Tamil Nadu, Amaran made a rampage at the box office and Lucky Baskhar did the same in Telugu States as well. In Hindi market, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 showed their dominance equally. But are these indicating any setbacks for Kanguva? The answer could be, Yes.

Kanguva was originally scheduled for release during the Dussehra season this year. But this was spoiled by Vettaiyan starring Rajinikanth which fixed the same release season. The team of Kanguva then postponed the film to avoid this clash. The next release season would be Diwali but they have avoided this as well. The sole reason would be to avoid clashes with other language releases.

But this plan now looks to have damaged Kanguva. All the films that were released during the Diwali in most languages are still running strong with packed theatres. So, getting most screens for Kanguva in just a week later wouldn’t be possible.

And also the audience who haven’t watched all these successful films wouldn’t want to come to theatres again for another film within the span of 2 weekends as they still give preference to watching these films first. And the people who watched these wouldn’t watch a new film again immediately.

So, Kanguva must post a strong positive word of mouth to bring all the audiences to the theatres again. The genre, big budget and Suriya’s stardom may be a big plus for the film. The team is also doing extensive promotions across the country. The film is slated for release on 14th November worlwide. So, let’s wait and see what happens then.

Suriya and the team of his upcoming film, Kanguva are busy in the promotional activities. They are interacting with the press and the media journalists answering many things about the film. The team, in this process, went recently to Bengaluru to promote the film and the Kannada Media reporters there have irked Suriya with their questions shockingly.

One of the reporters asked Suriya as to why he avoided a clash with Rajinikanth’s film Vettaiyan but chose to clash with Kannada Actor, Shiva Raj Kumar’s film, Bhairathi Ranagal. Suriya was evidently irked with this. He replied saying that they had opted for a Pan Indian release which could have been disturbed because of Vettaiyan’s prominence in other languages. Suriya even tried giving the example of Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 which became successful even in a clash.

Suriya cited this example assuring both Kanguva and Bhairathi Rangal’s success even if there was a clash. But the reporter took no time and countered again asking why the same clash didn’t happen with Kanguva and Vettaiyan if both could become successful. Then Suriya clarified again saying that CG work was also pending and they opted to postpone the film. Suriya has obviously lied giving this statement as he had earlier stated that they postponed the film only for Rajinikanth.

Another reporter asked if Suriya would assure of more screens and theatres for a straight Kannada film in Tamil Nadu. This also had Suriya become uncomfortable. He said that he would try his best to get more screens for a Kannada film but he couldn’t control as it falls under distribution system.

Pan India dreams and embarrassing situations:
One could understand that these questions were really aimed not only at Suriya but also at the Tamil Film Industry. Many low budgeted foreign language films struggle to get screens in Tamil Nadu. Suriya too would have understood the point.

Recent Pan Indian dreams of some Actors is also the reason for encountering these embarrassing situations. Kananda media reporters used the opportunity greatly again. They once lectured Allu Arjun for arriving late at the venue and making them wait. Allu Arjun had to openly apologize for their inconvenience.
