Kanguva's Diwali Special Poster Has Suriya's Gritty Avatar

Period action dramas set during medieval times have become a bankable genre in Indian cinema, peaking with the Baahubali films. Tamil cinema’s two recent period films, Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2, received a great response and now the industry is back with its latest period pan-India offering in the form of the Suriya-starrer Kanguva. The film, made on a mammoth scale, will be up for release in summer 2024. On the occasion of Diwali, the production team shared Suriya’s new look from the film, wishing everyone a happy Diwali.

With a commanding expression on his face, the actor, dressed as Kanguva, is seen holding a torchlight in the poster. People from the character’s clan fill the background, creating an arch-like shape that looks intriguing. The poster has been purposely left a little dark to add to the gritty tone of the film.

Kanguva’s producers previously released a teaser trailer for the movie, which showed the actor dressed like a warrior with an eccentric smile and a tough exterior. Suriya is touted to play six different roles in the film while Disha Patani and Bobby Deol are making their Tamil debuts.

Natarajan Subramaniam, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, Anandaraj, Ravi Raghavendra, and K. S. Ravikumarm completes the cast. According to the director, one description of the world of Kanguva is that it’s a big amalgamation of action scenes that has never been seen before, woven together with a tapestry of human emotions.

The film’s music is by Devi Sri Prasad, while Nishadh Yusuf edited the film and Vetri Palanisamy, a well-known cinematographer, handled the camera work. The movie is touted to have been produced on an enormous budget, making it one of the costliest Indian films ever.
