Shoot of Kanguva postponed after Suriya gets injured on set

It is well known that actor Suriya is busy with the shoot of his upcoming film Kanguva. Now, it has come to light that during the shoot of the much-anticipated film, a rope camera lost control and fell on Suriya.

After this incident, which left the Soorarai Pottru actor slightly injured, the shoot of the film has been put under a temporary halt.

According to sources, the incident occurred around 1.30 am at midnight in EVP Film City. An investigation into the incident is going on.

Suriya had also taken to his X handle to thank his fans for the 'get well soon' messages while mentioning that he is feeling much better. He also said that he is grateful for his fans' love.

Meanwhile, KE Gnanavelraja, who is producing this film under his Studio Green banner, recently revealed that the film will be released in 38 languages with 3D and IMAX versions. He also assured that Kanguva will be the biggest release for a Tamil film and they have planned to release it in regions across the globe, including some never-before-released locations. A snippet of the interview was also shared by Studio Green's X handle.

Mounted as a high-budget film, Kanguva is helmed by Siva and features Disha Patani as the female lead, marking her debut in Tamil cinema. In an earlier conversation with CE, Siva said, "The film is set 1500 years ago and uses elements from ancient Tamil culture as well as other cultures from all over India. Kanguva is a fictional story set in an imaginary world with strong historical references and facts." 

Kanguva will have cinematography by Siva's frequent collaborator, Vetri Palanisamy, production design by Milan and editing by Nishad Yusuf. 

Backed by Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green and UV Creations, Kanguva is aimed at an early 2024 release. The film marks Suriya's 42nd outing.

Supreme Sundar will choreograph the action sequences, while Narayana has co-written the script. The dialogues are by Madhan Karky.

After Kanguva, Suriya will be seen in the untitled Suriya 43 where he will be reuniting with director Sudha Kongara after Soorarai Pottru in 2020. The film also stars Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Varma and Nazriya.
