Actor Suriya has reportedly suffered an injury on the sets of the Tamil film Kanguva. Directed by Siruthai Siva, the final leg of the filming of Kanguva was underway on a grand set erected at a film city in Chennai, where the mishap occurred.


Reports say that a rope camera got loose and fell on the actor's shoulder during the shoot. Suriya is said to have suffered an injury, due to which shooting has been interrupted. It is said that the injury, fortunately, isn't serious and the actor's shoulder isn't majorly injured. The injury could have been even more serious if the camera had fallen on the star's head. The film's shooting was halted following the accident. The actor has been advised two weeks of bed rest by the doctors.


The actor or the film's team have yet to put out any formal statement about the accident. Suriya was supposed to finish his bits for the film by the end of this month. However, the incident will delay the wrap-up of the film's shooting.


Fans have been sharing the news of the actor's injury and praying for his recovery.

‘Kanguva’ will be released in 38 languages across the world in 3D and IMAX formats. The film’s first look was shared on Suriya’s birthday and it promises a captivating but bloody tale of a warrior. The shooting of the film has taken place in Goa, Kerala, Kodaikanal, and Rajahmundry. The official title 'Kanguva' was announced in April 2023.

The producer of the film, Gnanavelraja Ke, informed that they are trying to reach out to the regions that Tamil cinema has not yet reached in terms of marketing and releasing for ‘Kanguva’. Moreover, with Kanguva, Tamil cinema will open new doors in terms of box office numbers and reach.

The world of ‘Kanguva’ will be raw, and rustic and will offer a new visual experience to the audience. Human emotions, powerful performances and never seen before action sequences on a massive scale will be the core of the film.

'Kanguva' is directed by Siva and features Suriya and Disha Patani in the lead roles. The film features cinematography by Vetri Palanisamy and musical score by ‘Rockstar’ Devi Sri Prasad, who won the National Film Award for Best Music Composer for his work in the Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Pushpa: The Rise’.
