Made on a huge budget of Rs 300–350 crore, Kanguva featured Suriya in one of the never-seen avatars. However, the movie's box office performance was a huge disappointment. Upon its arrival, the movie failed to earn numbers at the box office and was heavily criticised for its story and confused screenplay. The movie bombed at the box office, earning only Rs 106 crore.

More about Kanguva

The movie follows a fearless bounty hunter, Francis (Suriya), who unexpectedly crosses paths with Zeta, a lost child with whom he shares a cosmic connection that goes back over a thousand years. Trying to decipher his connection with Zeta while shielding him from a dangerous cabal, Francis begins experiencing mysterious flashbacks of his past life as Kanguva, the son of a chieftain from one of the five islands near the southern Indian subcontinent in 1070 AD, who defends his people against relentless attacks from Roman soldiers and feuding neighbours. As Francis tries to piece together these memory flashes, he fights to overcome the threat to Zeta and himself before it is too late. 

Suriya played the dual roles of Francis and Kanguva, and Bobby Deol as antagonist Udhiran.
