Producer KE Gnanavel Raja’s earlier confidence now appears overly ambitious in hindsight. In a pre-release interview with Galatta, Raja dismissed any doubts about Kanguva’s potential, aiming sky-high.

According to Sacnilk's early reports, Kanguva collected an amount of Rs. 0.79 Crore on Day 10 (Saturday) as of 10 pm.Therefore, the total collection as of now has been of Rs. 65.79 Cr. Will the movie manage to make 1 Crore or even cross it today?

However, the latest buzz in Bollywood suggests that Karna has been shelved due to budget constraints. Initially, Excel Entertainments, headed by Farhan Akhtar, came on board to fund this project, but the word is that the production house has now backed out since Mehra quoted a jaw-dropping budget of Rs.

Suriya’s much-hyped mythological film Karna, which was set to mark his Bollywood debut, has reportedly been shelved following the debacle of Kanguva. Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the film starring Suriya in the lead role of Karna,

Kanguva, produced by Studio Green, is touted for its grand visuals and epic battle scenes set over 1,500 years of history. Shot across various locations in India and abroad, the film was made with an estimated budget of over ₹350cr. This makes it one of the most expensive Tamil films in recent times.

Suriyas hyped action drama written and directed by Siruthai Siva has rich work in terms of technicalities and craft but the movie fell flat at the box office due to its sloppy narration and an age-old story.

Suriya was recently seen in a leading role in the movie Kanguva, which has been receiving mixed-to-negative responses from audiences and critics. Now, it seems the actor’s much-awaited mythological epic Karna has been let go by the makers.

Suriya's ambitious film 'Kanguva', directed by Siva, is struggling at the box office despite a strong opening. Released on November 14, 2024, the movie has earned Rs 64.92 crore in eight days, far below its Rs 350 crore budget.
