Suriya is all set to shine bright on the silver screen soon with his next release, Kanguva. The fantasy action thriller has already been prophesied to be one of the biggest entertainers of the actor. With the promotions of the pan-India release in full swing, Kanguva’s producer recently grabbed attention as he spilled beans on the probable sequel of the film.

In an interview with ETimes, Kanguva’s producer TJ Gnanavel revealed that the movie from the very beginning had been planned to be a two-part project. He added that the sequel will showcase the backstory of the characters. Speaking up on the tentative schedule of the second installment, the producer revealed that the pre-production of Kanguva 2 will begin next year, while its shooting will begin in 2026. He shared that the release would happen in 2027.

Gnanavel said, “Director Siva has brought an unseen world to life with ‘Kanguva‘, and I believe audiences will embrace it. It’s envisioned as a two-part project, with plans for a spin-off web series. Each character, like Udhran (played by Bobby Deol), will have a detailed backstory. Pre-production for ‘Kanguva 2’ will begin next year, with filming to start in 2026, aiming for a 2027 release.”

Well, the ecstatic buildup of the Suriya starrer is palpable amongst his fans, and it is every now and then when they are left surprised with newer updates on the film ahead of its release on November 14, 2024.

For instance, during the promotional event for Kanguva, filmmaker Siva mentioned how the talented music composer Anirudh Ravichander will be making a special cameo in the film. He would have a special appearance in the song YOLO from the film, starring Suriya and Disha Patani.

Well, agree or not, the entire cast and crew of Kanguva have been leaving no stone unturned to give the audience a memorable experience. Be it from its trailer, songs, and other special glimpses shared by the makers, the film is expected to win big once it hits theaters.

Earlier, during a conversation with Pinkvilla’s Masterclass, Suriya had talked about the massive scale of his next film, Kanguva, and shared how it would match with the magnanimous scale of Telugu releases like Baahubali, Kalki 2898 AD, and RRR. 

He said, “Right from the narration day, we knew that we were entering a different world. Of course, we’ve seen Baahubali, RRR, and Kalki, but for Tamil, Kanguva would be that one big first step, is what I would like to say.”

Besides Suriya, Kanguva stars Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Natarajan Subramanium, Jagapathi Babu, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, and others in crucial roles.

Urvashi Rautela made her cinematic debut in 2013 with Singh Saab The Great, stepping into the limelight alongside the iconic Sunny Deol. Reflecting on this experience, she noted the remarkable 38-year age difference between them, playfully adding that she was, in fact, younger than his sons. Calling it ‘the biggest age gap in Bollywood history’, Rautela’s debut was as memorable as it was unconventional, setting a unique tone for her career.

During a conversation with iDiva, Urvashi Rautela shared her thoughts on starring opposite significantly older actors, reflecting on how these roles allow her to work alongside legends with extensive followings. Looking back at her experience with Sunny Deol in Singh Saab The Great, she noted that their 38-year age difference might be one of the largest in Bollywood’s history.

The actress, who was younger than Deol’s own sons, explained that if a director feels such casting works for the story, she’s all for it. She said, “It’s the biggest age-gap in the history of Bollywood, correct me if I’m wrong. We had a 38-year age-gap. I was younger than his sons, as well. But if the director thinks there’s no problem, it’s okay.”

Urvashi playfully revealed that while dating older men is off-limits in her personal life, her career tells a different story. Looking ahead to her next project, she’s excited to set a new record, surpassing her previous one. In her upcoming film, a grand-scale South Indian production, she stars alongside the iconic Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is in his 60s or 70s. The massive age difference between them, she noted, might just make cinematic history in India.

She further expressed her perspective on age gaps in films, emphasizing that larger gaps often add value to the movie itself. With older stars come extensive fan followings, which, in her view, significantly boosts a film’s appeal. However, she clarified that while she’s open to such age dynamics onscreen, she wouldn’t consider such a difference in a personal relationship.

Meanwhile, NBK 109 boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Bobby Deol, Ravi Kishen, Dulquer Salmaan, Prakash Raj, and Payal Rajput alongside Urvashi Rautela and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Bobby Deol is reportedly stepping into the role of the film’s antagonist.
