This glimpse of Director Siva's next biggie 'Kanguva', clearly demonstrates Director Siva's and star Suriya's inclement for Hollywood films. The first look has the same feel, screen tone, character design, stunts, and VFX as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, 2, and 300 which gives the feel of a giant project and fans can't wait longer to witness this on big screens.

Creators chose today's day to launch the first look of 'Kanguva' as a mark of celebrating actor Suriya's Birthday (23rd July).

The film will be distributed in 10 languages in 3D format, with music by Devi Sri Prasad and visuals by cinematographer Vetri Palanisany. The first trailer is now available in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and English.
