The highly anticipated film Kanguva, starring Suriya, is set for a November release, with fans and industry insiders expecting a strong box-office performance. However, despite the initial excitement, USA advance bookings for the film are currently slower than expected, with pre-sales only reaching around $60,000. With just ten days left until its premiere, this figure falls short of industry expectations, signaling a slow start in overseas markets that may need a boost to achieve its desired box-office impact.
The release trailer, anticipated to debut today or tomorrow, is expected to be a key factor in generating more interest and driving ticket sales in both the USA and India. The film’s action and historical drama elements are likely to attract a wide audience. However, Suriya’s recent filmography and director Siva’s last film, Annathe, which received mixed reviews, might be influencing the subdued advance sales.
In India, where Suriya enjoys a loyal fan base, Kanguva still has strong prospects for success. If the trailer gains traction, it could significantly increase advance bookings across both domestic and international markets, setting Kanguva on the path to a successful release.
