More details

At the Kanguva audio launch, RJ Balaji had said he had watched Kaakha Khaaka, Ghajini and Pithamagan when he was studying in college. He said he was very proud and happy that he had got the opportunity to direct Suriya whom he was an ardent fan of. He narrated how an assistant director had asked him how Suriya agreed to do RJ Balaji’s film when he rejected some other top directors. Balaji said, “It is because Suriya sir believed in me and believed in the script.”

Given that Kanguva did not live up to the expectations and the hype, all eyes are now on director RJ Balaji’s film and people are waiting eagerly to see what story he has come up with. Suriya's next release will be his Tamil film with director Karthik Subbaraj.
