Suriya Inspired Me to Make Pan-India Movies - Director SS Rajamouli at the 'Kanguva' Pre-Release Event

Star Hero Suriya is starring in the prestigious film Kanguva, a massive period action movie directed by Siva. Disha Patani and Bobby Deol play key roles in the film, which is being produced by KE Gnanavel Raja, Vamsi, and Pramod under the banners of renowned production houses Studio Green and UV Creations with a large budget. The movie will be distributed by Mythri Movie Distributors in the Nizam area. Kanguva is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on the 14th of this month. The pre-release event of Kanguva was held today in Hyderabad, with Director SS Rajamouli as the chief guest. 

At the event, Writer Rakendu Mouli said:  

"I would like to thank all the elders who attended the Kanguva pre-release event. I wrote three songs and the dialogues for this film. I felt honored to see my name on the screen alongside Suriya garu. The scenes in Kanguva are incredible. Hats off to Director Siva garu for making such a film with such a grand vision. I encourage everyone to watch Kanguva in theaters on the 14th of this month and enjoy it."

DOP Vetri Palaniswamy shared:  

"Before Kanguva, Director Siva and I worked together on several projects. Rajamouli garu brought South cinema to the world stage with his groundbreaking films. Inspired by him, we aimed for something extraordinary with Kanguva. We focused on making this film technically superior, and I can confidently say that Kanguva will provide a great theatrical experience."

Producer Dil Raju said:  

"Congratulations to Studio Green’s Gnanavel, UV Creations’ Vamsi, and Pramod garu for producing Kanguva. We have seen the songs, promos, and the world they've created for the film. This is not just a Tamil film, but one of the most awaited films in Telugu as well. Director Siva garu is talented in crafting commercial films and has made successful Telugu hits. I wish Kanguva, which is about to release grandly, great success, and hope that Suriya and the entire team bring good name to everyone involved."

Distributor Abhinesh expressed:  

"I am a big fan of Suriya garu. The dedication and hard work he puts into his work as a star is truly inspiring. I am excited to be distributing Kanguva in both Tamil and Andhra Pradesh. This film is the biggest Pan-India film coming from Tamil cinema, and I hope it achieves great success with all your support."

Shashi from Mythri Movie Distributors said:  

"Thank you to producer Gnanavel garu for giving us the opportunity to distribute Kanguva in the Nizam area. We believe this film will bring great recognition to our company. It has been a while since Suriya garu's films were released theatrically, and we hope Kanguva brings him a big success at the box office."

Producer Vivek Kuchibotla shared:  

"The visuals of Kanguva shown by Gnanavel garu are fantastic. When Suriya garu visited AMB Mall, the response was huge. Similarly, during the promotion of Kanguva in other states, the crowd response was overwhelming. I am hopeful that the film will achieve great success on a Pan-India level."

Director SS Rajamouli said, "Suriya is the hero who inspired me to take Telugu cinema to other regions, beyond the Telugu states. During the Ghajini era, I would tell my producers and heroes about Suriya's efforts to promote his films in Telugu and reach out to the Telugu audience as a case study. I would tell them that if Surya could win the love of the Telugu people, we should also work towards winning the love of the Tamil people and audiences from other states. Suriya inspired me to pursue Pan-India films. Suriya and I had wanted to collaborate on a film in the past, but it didn't materialize. Surya mentioned at a function that he regretted not working with me, but I too regret not having the opportunity to work with him. I truly admire Suriya's acting and on-screen presence. He is someone who chooses stories and embarks on a journey more than any filmmaker. I respect his decisions.

Filming in great locations is challenging. Taking the entire crew to a location or shooting in a large studio is difficult in itself. But Kanguva was shot in very rare locations, and the sets were designed in many unique places. The hard work put in by the team is clearly visible in the making video. I believe that all the effort put in by the team will be rewarded with success after the film's release. A film like Kanguva should be experienced in theaters. Only then will you truly get the cinematic experience. I encourage everyone to watch Kanguva in theaters on November 14th and enjoy the experience."

Producer Suresh Babu said:  

"We distributed the movie Sathyam Sundaram, which was produced by Suriya, and received a lot of praise for it. The best decision we made this year was to distribute Sathyam Sundaram. The visuals and content of Kanguva are amazing. I believe this movie will bring Surya huge success. I have known Director Siva for a long time, and I hope both he and his team achieve success with Kanguva."

Producer Allu Aravind said:  

"Looking at the excitement at the Kanguva pre-release event, it feels like a celebration of success. Our association with Suriya goes back to the time of Ghajini. We have always wanted to work with him, and we are still planning to collaborate. Suriya is also doing great work with the Agaram Foundation, and he has a very kind heart. I wish Suriya and his team immense success with Kanguva."

Director Siva said:  

"I have a strong connection with the Telugu film industry, where I gained recognition as a director. Talking about Kanguva, it is a visual feast. The story, set a thousand years ago, captures the relationships, love, revenge, and struggles between five tribes in a raw and rustic manner. Kanguva will definitely offer a great cinematic experience. I thank Gnanavel garu for believing in my vision and producing this film, and Devi Sri Prasad garu for elevating it with his music. I am thrilled to have seen the first copy. Telugu audiences celebrate larger-than-life films, and I hope we all come together to celebrate Kanguva in theaters on the 14th of this month."

Producer KE Gnanavel Raja said:  

"I would like to thank Rajamouli garu, Suresh Babu, Allu Aravind garu, Boyapati Srinu garu, Sidhu, Vishwak, and everyone who attended our Kanguva pre-release event today. I am happy and grateful for all the blessings you’ve given our film. Kanguva will release worldwide on the 14th of this month, and I hope you will enjoy watching this wonderful movie in theaters."

Hero Sidhu Jonnalagadda said:  

"Suriya garu is a complete actor. He can perform in films like Surya Son of Krishnan without any action sequences, and he can impress with a movie like Rakta Charitra. I love Suriya garu just like you all. The more charming he is, the better his performances. Our love for Surya garu will always remain the same. I wish Suriya garu and the entire team immense success with Kanguva, which is releasing on the 14th of this month."

Hero Vishwak Sen said:  

"Suriya garu's goodness and humility show us that no matter how great someone becomes, they should always remain humble. He has been entertaining us for many years. Wherever he is, we feel his presence with us. Suriya is all set to entertain the Pan-India audience once again with Kanguva. I wish him and the entire team all the best for the film."

Director Boyapati Srinu said:  

"Suriya garu has become a member of every Telugu family. Every film he has done feels like a direct Telugu film. Today, there are no language barriers in cinema. When Suriya garu performs, the character comes to life. A passionate producer is essential to make a film like this, and Gnanavel garu has the taste and vision for it. If you watch the making of Kanguva, you will understand how much Director Siva has worked hard on this project. Our films this season are achieving great success, and the new season should begin with Kanguva, which is releasing on the 14th of this month. Every Telugu film should succeed. I wish the entire Kanguva team the best of luck."

Hero Suriya said:  

"I would like to thank Rajamouli garu, Suresh Babu, Allu Aravind garu, Boyapati Srinu garu, Siddhu, Vishwak, and everyone who attended our Kanguva pre-release event today. I am grateful that all these esteemed people took time out of their busy schedules to bless us. Rajamouli garu has shown us a great path, and we are following in his footsteps. Kanguva cannot be compared to any of Rajamouli garu’s films, but we are inspired by his work. I once missed the opportunity to work with Rajamouli garu, but I am still waiting for that chance. If the eldest member of our family succeeds, it inspires the rest of us. That’s how we draw inspiration from Rajamouli garu’s achievements. 

Gnanavel Raja’s photo is my phone’s screensaver, and I believe he has Rajamouli garu’s blessings. I am here on this stage today because of my directors, producers, fans, and the audience who love and support our films. Kanguva gave me an unforgettable experience. I worked hard for two years on this film. When my friends Prabhas, Rana, and Anushka spoke about *Baahubali*, I would ask them how they managed to give dates for two years. We worked with excitement every day. They told me Rajamouli garu gave them that encouragement. I received similar encouragement while working with Siva on the set of Kanguva. Every day, three thousand people worked on the set, and Siva worked alongside them, with just three or four assistant directors. 

I have personally grown after acting in Kanguva. I thank Siva for giving us such a special film. I believe it will stay in your hearts as an evergreen movie. There are many surprises in Kanguva, and I invite you all to celebrate this film with us. Let’s celebrate another Diwali in theaters on the 14th of this month. I always need your blessings and love.
