In an electrifying event that was marked by anticipation and excitement, the audio launch of the much-awaited Tamil film ‘Kanguva’ witnessed a heartwarming acknowledgment from none other than the legendary superstar Rajinikanth himself. Though his presence was missed at this grand occasion, the iconic actor sent a special recorded video message that reverberated with appreciation and encouragement for the team behind ‘Kanguva’. Despite being unable to attend in person due to a packed schedule, his video message added a touch of star power to the gathering.
Rajinikanth began his message with a tribute to Studio Green’s producer KE Gnanavel Raja, whom he praised lavishly for his acumen in film production and marketing. Rajinikanth, who has had an illustrious career spanning over several decades, is known for his discerning eye for talent and quality in cinema. Addressing the audience and the film’s team, he remarked, “Gnanavel knows everything about cinema. He knows how to promote a film.” His words underscored the reputation Gnanavel Raja has built in the industry as a visionary producer who understands the nuances of filmmaking and distribution.
He then shifted his focus to director Siva, a name that resonates with many hits in the Tamil film industry. Rajinikanth shared fond memories of working with Siva on their previous collaboration, ‘Annaatthe’. Highlighting the director’s unique style, he said, “Although I have done just one film with him, I developed a bonding with Siva as if we’d done 25-30 films. He genuinely understands what people need when they come to the theatres.” Rajinikanth’s admiration for Siva’s ability to capture audience sentiments is a ringing endorsement of the director’s skills in translating emotions and stories compellingly on screen.
A particularly fascinating revelation made by Rajinikanth was that the concept of ‘Kanguva’ had its origins during the making of ‘Annaatthe’.
. He shared that the idea for a period film was initially discussed between him and director Siva. Rajinikanth revealed, “I definitely think Kanguva was written for me. It then reached Gnanavel and Suriya.” This confession adds a layer of intrigue to the film, hinting at the journey of the script and its transformation into its current state, which now features the versatile actor Suriya in the lead role.
The video message also touched upon the camaraderie and mutual respect within the film industry. Recently, Gnanavel Raja and Suriya made the considerate decision to shift the release date of ‘Kanguva’ to avoid a clash with Rajinikanth’s upcoming venture ‘Vettaiyan’. This gesture did not go unnoticed by Rajinikanth, who reciprocated with his well-wishes for the movie’s success. “I wish Kanguva is a massive success for Siva, Gnanavel Raja, and Suriya,” said the superstar, reflecting the warmth and unity that often characterizes relationships within the industry.
As the audio launch drew to a close, the anticipation among fans reached a new high. ‘Kanguva’, set to release on November 14, promises to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative and exceptional performances. With Rajinikanth’s blessings and a talented cast and crew driving the project, the film looks poised to make a significant impact at the box office.
The homage paid by Rajinikanth through his video message not only reinforced the camaraderie in the Tamil cinema sector but also highlighted the excitement surrounding ‘Kanguva’. As the release date approaches, this blend of a compelling storyline, dedicated craftsmanship, and industry backing suggests that ‘Kanguva’ is already gearing up for a promising journey in cinema halls. The anticipation is palpable, and fans are eager to see how this creation, initially imagined for Rajinikanth, unfolds with Suriya’s charismatic presence leading the charge.
