The excitement around Suriya’s upcoming film Kanguva reached new heights as the movie's pre-release event took place today. Among the celebrities attending were filmmaker Rajamouli, actor Vishwak Sen, and producer Allu Aravind, adding further star power to the event. The highlight of the evening came when Suriya, the lead actor of Kanguva, shared a heartfelt moment reflecting on his past with Rajamouli.
Suriya revealed that he and Rajamouli once planned to collaborate on a project, but due to various reasons, it never materialized. He shared with the audience that he "missed a train" but is still hopeful that the opportunity to work together will come around in the future. “I missed the train, but I am still at the railway station, hoping to catch that train," Suriya said, hinting at the possibility of future collaboration with the legendary director.
Rajamouli, known for his blockbuster successes like Baahubali and RRR, responded warmly, praising Suriya for his journey in Telugu cinema. Rajamouli spoke fondly about how Suriya’s entry into the Telugu film industry with Ghajini was a turning point, earning him the love and admiration of the Telugu audience. Rajamouli described Suriya's career as a "case study" and mentioned how he often cited Suriya's journey as an example to inspire filmmakers and actors in Telugu cinema.
Not only did Rajamouli express his deep respect for Suriya, but he also confessed that it was he, not Suriya, who missed the opportunity to collaborate. “It was me who missed the opportunity, because I love him so much, I love his acting and onscreen presence so much. Suriya, I really respect your decision that you chose to go after a story rather than a story maker," Rajamouli stated. His words emphasized the mutual respect and admiration between the two giants of the Indian film industry.
The emotional exchange between Rajamouli and Suriya at the event has sparked excitement among fans, with many hoping that this camaraderie might lead to a future collaboration. Given the immense talent of both Rajamouli and Suriya, a pan-India film together would certainly be a highly anticipated project.
Suriya’s Kanguva, slated for release on November 14th, promises to be an action-packed entertainer. With the pre-release event further igniting curiosity, fans are eager to see the film and also look forward to a potential collaboration between the two industry legends in the future.
