Kanguva Sees Strong Pre-Release Bookings in Telugu States
Suriya Returns to Theaters with Kanguva After Two Years in Telugu States
Suriya’s last major theatrical release, Etharkkum Thunindhavan (ET), hit screens back in March 2022 but did not perform as expected at the box office in Telugu States. Now, after a hiatus of nearly two years and eight months, Suriya is all set to make a grand comeback with his latest film, Kanguva, an epic action-fantasy venture. Directed by talented Siva, known for hits like Souryam and Siruthai, the film slated for a grand release on November 14th.
Aggressive Promotions Boosting Pre-Release Buzz in Telugu States
In a bid to ensure a strong opening, Suriya, director Siva, and the entire team have been on an extensive promotional tour across India. They’ve focused particularly on Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where they’ve conducted several events to generate hype. Their aggressive marketing strategy seems to be paying off, as evidenced by the positive response in pre-release bookings.
The early morning shows scheduled for 8:00 AM on release day in cities like Vizag, Vijayawada, Guntur, and Hyderabad are already witnessing impressive occupancy rates. The film’s full-fledged bookings in Hyderabad are set to open soon, and industry insiders expect these to trend positively throughout the first day.
Kanguva’s Unique Approach for Hindi Release
One of the most significant aspects of Kanguva is its eight-week theatrical window for its Hindi version. Unlike recent Tamil films, Kanguva has opted for an extended theatrical run before heading to digital platforms. As per the current guidelines, the film will not be available for streaming on OTT platforms until eight weeks post-release, ensuring an exclusive multiplex experience for the Hindi audience.
This strategy aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for theatrical releases, especially for well-made event films. The film’s Hindi version will release across multiplexes nationwide, catering to Suriya’s ever-growing fan base beyond Tamil and Telugu regions.
Strong Pre-Release Buzz Across Languages
Suriya’s strong goodwill among audiences, coupled with the team’s relentless promotional efforts, has created a solid buzz for the film. In recent years, audiences have shown a keen interest in big-budget, high-quality films, and Kanguva is expected to leverage this trend.
If the film garners positive word of mouth, it could emerge as a box-office winner not only in the Tamil and Telugu markets but also in Hindi-speaking regions. With stunning visuals, high-octane action sequences, and a captivating storyline, Kanguva poised to deliver a cinematic treat for fans.
Expectations Soar for Suriya’s Epic Fantasy Drama
Given the encouraging early bookings, Kanguva is on track to have a strong opening. The film’s combination of fantasy elements with epic action promises to captivate audiences across the board. As Suriya’s most ambitious project to date, fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the big screen.
With the extensive promotions and positive pre-release trends, Kanguva could potentially become a significant hit for Suriya, adding another blockbuster to his already impressive filmography.
