Kanguva was anticipated to be a game-changer for the Tamil film industry, but it has unfortunately become one of Kollywood’s biggest disasters, leaving the producers with massive losses.
Despite an extended 8-day opening week, the film has yet to cross the â¹100 crore mark at the worldwide box office—a disappointing performance given its colossal budget. In light of this, Suriya has reportedly stepped in to support the producer.
The magnum opus, directed by Siva, was made on a staggering budget exceeding â¹300 crores, one of the most expensive productions in Tamil cinema.
Siva's confidence in the project raised high expectations, but the film opened to mostly negative reviews and poor audience reception, leading to a lackluster box office run.
After a weak start, Kanguva continued to struggle, with weekday collections plummeting further. The financial fallout has left K. E. Gnanavel Raja’s Studio Green facing significant losses.
To mitigate the situation, Suriya is reportedly planning to compensate the producer by collaborating on a new project.
According to reports, Suriya is set to star in a film for Studio Green with a more modest budget to minimize risks and reduce financial strain on the production house.
It is also speculated that Suriya might take a pay cut for this project, showcasing his commitment to supporting the studio.
If these reports are true, Suriya’s gesture is not only commendable but also a reflection of his responsibility and goodwill within the industry.
