Kanguva producer’s wife reveals reason beyond Disha Patani’s casting in the period action thriller. In a recent conversation with a media , Neha, the wife of producer Gnanavel Raja, candidly spoke about ongoing Kanguva’s criticism and Disha Patani’s limited screen time in the Suriya film.

Suriya Shivakumar’s periodic action thriller Kanguva was theatically debuted on 14 November 2024 and has received a mixed bag of reviews since its worldwide release . There has been a fair share of criticism, particularly regarding the loud background score and the limited screen time for some actors, especially Disha Patani. 

She took to her official Twitter account and wrote,” Because Angela’s character isn’t the entire focus of Kanguva. She can’t dominate 2.5 hours of film! It’s basic, so yes, she was there to look pretty!!! It’s one brain and perspective (the director) presenting to crores of audiences! We welcome criticism, not targeted propaganda.” She deleted the post after facing criticism for her tweet.

Kanvua producer and Suriya’s wife Jyothika also addressed film’s criticism on her official Instagram account. She wrote,”  I pen this note as Jyotika and a cinema lover and not actor Suriya’s wife -Kanguva – a spectacle in cinema. So proud of you Suriya, for the actor you are and how you dare to dream to take cinema forward.
Definitely the first 1/2 hr doesn’t work n the sound is jarring! Flaws r a part of most Iindian films, so that’s only fair, especially in this kind of a film wherein one experiments largely! N it’s just the first 1/2 hr from the whole 3 hrs.But to be true, it’s an absolute cinematic experience! Camera work n execution never before seen in Tamizh cinema.

The note further stated ,” I’m surprised with the negative reviews from media and certain fraternities, as it’s not done by them to this high level for the most unintellectual big budget films I have seen earlier with age old stories, where women r stalked, double meaning dialogues r spoken and have the most over the top action sequences.. N what about Kanguva’s positives? The women action sequence in 2nd half and the young boy’s love and betrayal for Kanguva? I think they forgot about the good parts while reviewing.

The film stars Suriya in dual roles, Bollywood actors like Bobby Deol, Disha Patani, Natarajan Subramaniam, K. S. Ravikumar, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, Despite of negative criticism the film earned Rs 140 crore with just 4 days of it’s theatrical release.
