What can we expect from Bobby Deol’s portrayal as the antagonist in Siruthai Siva’s directorial, 'Kanguva'?

KE Gnanavel Raja shares that "A protagonist is as good as the antagonist. So, when the antagonist is stronger, the protagonist gets his importance. We were very lucky that Bobby sir accepted to do this role. He looks so undefeatable in the film. The task of the hero becomes very tough facing an antagonist like Bobby Sir, and the reason why the hero gets a value. Scenes where Bobby sir comes are raw, rustic, and ruthless, and audiences will feel them.

What can we anticipate from Disha Patani's role in her Kollywood debut?

Disha's portion in the film is the lighter scenes, and they are the relief of the film. Actually, the whole film is full of blood, fight, aggression, and roar. So Disha is the calming part of the whole film, and her portions are needed to make the audience feel the blood and fire in the back part of the film. She will be in a different world, while Bobby Sir is in a different world. But there will be a bigger twist even for us.

What kind of cinematic experience does 'Kanguva' promise to deliver?

Our generations used to live a thousand years back. How the lifestyle was, and how ruthless they were at that time dealing with everything. So Siva has created an unseen world through, and I think the audience will love it. Siva planned it as a two-part right now with a lot of web series ideas. Every character will be like Udhran (Bobby Deol) sir's character, and it will have its own backstory like who he is and how he is?

With all these measures in 'Kanguva', KE Gnanavel Raja confirmed that the plans for the making of part 2 are also on, and the pre-production work will commence next year. 'Kanguva 2' will hit the floors in 2026, and it will be a 2027 release.
