With just two days to go for the release of Suriya's much-anticipated film Kanguva, directed by Siva, the Tamil Nadu government has granted permission to allow special shows in theatres. In an official statement, the government has granted the makers permission to screen shows for 9 am on November 14.
Following the request from Studio Green to allow special shows for 5 am on November 14 and 15, the government has granted only one special show for 9 am on November 14. While the first show is allowed only for 9 am, the last show should end at 2 am. The maximum number of shows allowed in Tamil Nadu theatres is limited to five per day.
Apart from the order allowing special shows, the statement further laid rules to theatres, noting that theatres should make appropriate security arrangement so that people and spectators can enter and leave without difficulty, by providing sufficient time to clean and maintain the theatre in a hygienic manner. It also mentioned that adequate arrangements should be made with the cooperation and security of the Police department without causing any health impairment and overcrowding in theatres.
Apart from Suriya, Kanguva also stars Disha Patani, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, Anandaraj, G Marimuthu, Ravi Raghavendra, KS Ravikumar, Ravi Raghavendra, BS Avinash and Deepa Venkat, among others. The film will mark the Tamil debut of Disha Patani.
The fantasy period action film, which will be made in two parts, is expected to traverse across multiple time periods. Produced by Studio Green and UV Creations, Kanguva will feature cinematography by Vetri Palanisamy, editing by the late Nishadh Yusuf, and art direction by the late Milan Fernandez. Dialogues for the film have been written by Madhan Karky. According to reports, the film is expected to be released in 38 languages in 3D and IMAX versions.
