'Kanguva' stars Suriya and Siva seek blessings at Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

Directed by Siruthai Siva, 'Kanguva' featuring Suriya in the lead role was released in theatres on November 14, and the periodic drama opened with mixed responses. But 'Kanguva' has held well at the box office, and the film earned close to Rs 150 crore at the end of its first week of theatrical run. Meanwhile, Suriya and Siruthai Siva have sought blessings at Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in Ranipet, reflecting their deep faith and spiritual connection. The duo, who have collaborated professionally and share a strong camaraderie, took time out of their schedules to offer prayers at this sacred location. Their visit garnered attention, with fans and devotees appreciating their gesture of humility and devotion. The serene setting of the temple added to the significance of the moment, showcasing their commitment to tradition and spirituality.

'Kanguva', the pan-Indian periodic action drama is set between the present and the ancient period, and Suriya played a dual role connecting both time periods. Bobby Deol and Disha Patani made their Kollywood debut through the Suriya starrer. Siruthai Siva's directorial excels as a visual spectacle and showcases the growing technical prowess of Indian cinema, but it struggled to balance its ambitious scale with a compelling narrative. The loud sound effects and relentless background score caused trouble for the film. However, the makers trimmed the film by 12 minutes and rectified the sound issues to have a re-censored copy of the film running in theatres from Monday (Nov 18).
