Suriya is making a big gamble with “Kanguva“, a period action film directed by Siva, set to release on November 14th. The movie is produced by KE Gnanavelraja‘s Studio Green along with UV Creations, with a massive budget.
However, “Kanguva” has run into legal trouble as Reliance Entertainment took the matter to the Madras High Court over unpaid dues from Gnanavelraja.
He reportedly owes Reliance Rs 99.22 crores, borrowed for previous films, with Rs 45 crores still pending.
Kanguva
Reliance has asked the court to delay Kanguva’s release until this debt is settled. They also requested to hold back the OTT release of Vikram’s “Thangalaan“.
The court has noted the arguments, with the next hearing on November 7th. Despite recent box-office failures, “Kanguva” is Gnanavelraja’s biggest project as a producer, and Suriya has been actively promoting the film across India.
Everyone is hopeful that these legal issues will be resolved before the release.
