In a display of mutual respect between two giants of South Indian cinema, the release of Suriya’s highly anticipated film ‘Kanguva’ was postponed to avoid clashing with Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie ‘Vettaiyan’. Originally set for an October 10 release, ‘Kanguva’ was strategically delayed by Suriya as a gesture of reverence toward Rajinikanth, a symbol of Tamil cinema.

Suriya, speaking at the audio launch of his brother Karthi’s film ‘Meiyazhagan’, had reiterated his respect for Rajinikanth’s legacy. He emphasized that competing with the veteran actor at the box office would not be appropriate and expressed confidence that fans would support his decision. A new release date for ‘Kanguva’ is expected to be announced soon.

Meanwhile, ‘Vettaiyan’ continues to generate excitement, with its star-studded cast featuring prominent names from across the South Indian film industry, including Sathyaraj, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan in pivotal roles.
