Kanguva, the highly anticipated period fantasy film, has finally hit the theatres today. The movie, which marked the first onscreen collaboration of Suriya and director Siva, has been receiving mixed reviews from both the audiences and critics.

Karthi’s Kanguva cameo wins the internet
Even though Suriya and director Siva’s ambitious project is struggling to create an impact with its lacklustre storytelling, the performances and visuals have impressed the audiences. As reported earlier, the biggest surprise factor of Kanguva was its final moments, which presents a lead to an upcoming sequel. Karthi, the popular actor made a cameo appearance in the film, thus marking his first collaboration with his elder brother, Suriya.
The Meiyazhagan actor’s performance and look in the film have created quite a stir on social media. A majority of netizens on the internet feel that Karthi’s cameo is one of the biggest highlights of Kanguva. The actor, who makes a miniscule appearance in the film, has made a big impact with his unique avatar and dialogue delivery. However, some others feel that Karthi was just wasted in the film, as an epic face-off between the actor and his brother Suriya is missing in the film.
“Kanguva - The Crocodile Fight Sequence and Karthi intro are the highlights of the second half..,” wrote a cinephile. “Karthi Na cameo in Kanguva... Whole theatre (sic)... Kanguva 2 Lead,” wrote a fan on X (formerly Twitter). “Kanguva... Karthi cameo next level... Highest opening in Suriya’s career,” reads another fan post. Even though nothing much has been revealed about Kanguva 2, the film’s tail end suggests that the upcoming sequel is going to feature an epic battle between the actor-siblings, Suriya and Karthi. The Kaithi 2 actor is expected to be featured in a full-fledged role, in the next installment.
