Featuring six characters, Kanguva, directed by Siruthai Siva, is Suriya's most costly film to date. After Jailer, TJ Gnanavel's film Vettaiyan seeks to carry on Rajinikanth's winning trend. Both Chiyaan Vikram's Thangalaan, directed by Pa Ranjith and slated for release on august 15, and ajith Kumar's Vidaa Muyarchi, directed by Magizh Thirumeni and slated for a Deepavali release, are eagerly awaited films. With the Kolar gold Fields as a background, Thangalaan looks to be a visual feast.
And last, august 15 is when Sivakarthikeyan's biographical action war movie Amaran is expected to be released. The movie, which is based on Major Mukund Varadarajan's life, is anticipated to get a lot of attention. The tamil film industry is relying on these films to help it recover and become recognised as one of the leading sectors in the nation.
