Suriya responds to the producer’s claim that Kanguva will collect ₹2000 crores

On October 25, Suriya and the Kanguva team attended a promotional event in Hyderabad. During the event, a media person asked Suriya to comment on the producer’s statement about a potential ₹2000 crore collection. Suriya responded, “What’s wrong with dreaming big? I believe in manifestation, I believe in the universe. Let it happen. Let everyone be happy.”

Currently, as per the report, 2.0 holds the record as the highest-grossing Tamil film, with earnings of over ₹700 crores. Time will tell if Kanguva can surpass this and become the top-grossing Kollywood film. Disha Patani stars as the female lead, and Studio Green, in collaboration with UV Creations, produced this large-scale film, with Devi Sri Prasad composing the soundtrack.
