It looks so huge, and even the characters are well written. Each character is interesting. Working with Suriya was such a delight. He's so down-to-earth. We got along really well - I didn’t feel like we were meeting for the first time. I just walked onto the set, and it was as if I’d always known him. We kept talking about our families because he's very family-oriented, and I am too."

Here's the trailer:

He added, "Coffee was one of our major topics of discussion because he had his own coffee machine there. He kept having coffee, and he offered me some. I loved it. Then he told me about the beans he used and even got me some. It was good fun, and he's just amazing. As soon as the camera switches on, the way he performs - he becomes so larger-than-life in front of your eyes. It really works. If you've seen the trailer, the way he appears, performs, and handles the action scenes is just remarkable."

Kanguva, starring Suriya, Bobby Deol, and Disha Patani, is set to release on November 14, 2024. The film is directed by Siruthai Siva.
