Suirya’s Kanguva is all set for a grand release in two days on 14 November. With Kanguva being a high-budget period drama, the producers are trying to gain the maximum momentum in the first few days.
To achieve the same, the makers have been trying to screen early morning special shows of the film in the south Indian shows.
While the Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala governments have already permitted 4 AM shows on 14 November, the Tamil Nadu government in an official statement on Tuesday, 12 November, permitted 9 AM shows on the release day.
The permission comes after Studio Green sought special shows for 5 am on 14 and 15 November.
However, the government has granted only one special show for 9 am on 14 November. While the first show is allowed only for 9 am, the last show should end at 2 am. The maximum number of shows allowed in Tamil Nadu theatres is limited to five per day.
Thanking the Tamil Nadu government, the production house shared the government order on their X handle.
#Kanguva is all set to storm in cinemas near you with special 9 AM shows for its release 🔥
Thank you Tamil Nadu Government

The producer of the film Gnanavel Raja also announced that there will be a sequel for the movie. According to him, Kanguva will conclude with an intriguing twist, which will make way for setting the stage for a sequel. He stated that filming for the sequel will begin by late 2025 and Kanguva Part 2 will mostly be released in 2027.
