The controversy began with an interview on Galatta, where Kanguva’s producer, K.E. Gnanavel Raja, responded to a question about the film’s potential to gross INR 1,000 crore at the box office. He set high expectations, suggesting the film could achieve INR 2,000 crore. This statement was perceived by many as overly ambitious.
Additionally, Gnanavel Raja mentioned that, regardless of whether the film grosses INR 500 crore, INR 700 crore, or even INR 1,000 crore, he intends to post the GST challan on social media as a public record. He proposed that if all producers shared their GST challans, it would give the industry a more transparent, more accurate picture of actual earnings.
At a promotional event in Hyderabad on October 24, 2024, a journalist asked Suriya for his response to the producer’s ambitious expectations for the film’s theatrical performance. Suriya responded thoughtfully, saying, “What is the crime if you dream big? I believe in manifestation. I believe in the universe. Let it happen. Let everyone be happy.”
