Kanguva updates: Everything you need to know about the Suriya film

Suriya's magnum opus Kanguva is now running in theatres. The film's release was pushed from October 10 to avoid a clash with Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan.

The period epic is one of the most expensive Indian films ever made and has been in production for several years. Suriya is said to sport multiple different looks for the film, one of which is even inspired from the 2006 Mel Gibson film Apocalypto.

The Siva film stars Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Jagapathi Babu, Natarajan Subramaniam, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, Anandaraj, and KS Ravikumar in supporting roles. It is positioned as a pan-India release: the makers say it will be released in 38 languages, including English.

Disha Patani makes her Tamil debut with Kanguva, as will Bobby Deol, as the antagonist. It has also been rumored that Karthi will appear in the film. Devi Sri Prasad composes the music for Kanguva.

The fantasy period action film, which will be made in two parts is expected to traverse across multiple time periods.

"It is well known that we are not in any way related to what is happening on screen, but we forget all that and clap, appreciate and shed tears for the story. This unexplainable magical connection is what cinema is all about. In the legendary poet Kannadasan sir's words 'We can experience it'. We cannot analyse it. I believe that the director's job is to create that connection with the audience job," Siva said.

Despite such a warning, photos of a leading actor who plays a cameo in the film were leaked on social media sites.

It is easy to guess that Kanguva of the medieval period has reincarnated as Francis in the modern day. But the parallels between both characters in their stunts and emotional scenes are clearly indicative of Francis resuming whatever Kanguva left unfinished.

The film directed by Siva has been certified a U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The action-adventure film will also be releasing in 3D

The song has been sung by Raghu Dixit, with lyrics by Viveka. Earlier, the makers had released three singles titled 'Fire Song', 'Yolo' and 'Thalaivane'. Devi Sri Prasad has composed music for all the songs.

Speaking at the Kanguva audio launch event, Suriya opened up about working with Siva, what he thinks about Studio Green's KE Gnanavel Raja, and further went on to thank his fans for their love

The lyrical video of the party number suggests this will be heavy on dance moves. Devi Sri Prasad has composed the song and lent his voice along with Lavita Lobo, and Viveka has penned the lyrics.

Written and directed by Siva, the film was earlier supposed to hit theatres on October 10, clashing with Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan.

The actor made these statements during the audio launch for Karthi's Meiyazhagan.

The trailer starts by showing Bobby Deol's character as someone who has enmity towards Suriya's Kanguva and is ambitious about slaying him to take over his land and people
