Suriya and Rajamouli Were Supposed To Work for Magadheera

Suriya is one of the most successful actors in South Indian cinema. He is currently occupied with promotions for his upcoming film Kanguva, which will be released on November 14th. The team held a pre-release event in Hyderabad yesterday. During the event, Rajamouli spoke about not collaborating with Suriya. Earlier, they were supposed to do Magadheera together.

During the event, SS Rajamouli praised Suriya for inspiring his ambition to create pan-Indian films. Rajamouli shared that he had plans to collaborate with Suriya, though the project did not materialize. He expressed his regret by saying, “It is my loss for not working with Suriya.”

Responding to Rajamouli’s remarks, Suriya expressed his eagerness to collaborate. “I openly admit that I missed the train and am still waiting at the railway station, hoping to catch it someday,” Suriya said.

There has long been speculation that Suriya and Rajamouli were initially set to work together on Magadheera, a project that starred Ram Charan. At a previous event, Ram Charan mentioned that before plans changed, Magadheera was originally envisioned for Suriya.

Kanguva OTT Partner Locked, But….

Suriya’s big budgeted action epic Kanguva opened in theaters today and it naturally drew a fair bit of anticipation in Tamil and Telugu alike. This is mostly due to the aggressive promotional campaign taken up by Suriya who extensively toured ahead of the release and promoted the film big time.

Coming to the OTT side of things, we are hearing an interesting report on Kanguva now and this has something to do with the OTT partner of the film.

Kanguva has apparently sealed Amazon Prime Video as its OTT streaming partner and it will be made available for streaming here in multiple languages.

But for those wondering when the film would stream on Amazon, just so that they can wait it out, there is some bad new.

Apparently, there is a lengthy theatrical window clause that is in place for the film, meaning that it won’t be streaming on Amazon Prime Video anytime soon. There will be a fair bit of delay in the OTT release of the film and it is likely to stream only from mid-January.

So, whoever is interested in the film is prompted to watch it in theaters only and not to wait out for the OTT debut which is still a fair way away.
