Producer reacts to the Online Trolls

Kanguva and Thangalaan, two highly anticipated Tamil films of 2024 directed by Siva and Vikram and Pa Ranjith, respectively, have faced delays in their release. The anticipation among cine-goers for these films, expected to hit the theatres in the first half of the year, has been palpable. However, production issues have caused setbacks, leaving fans eagerly awaiting new release dates. Disappointed fans have taken to trolling Studio Green, the production house behind both films. In response to the criticism, G Dhananjeyan, the producer of Kanguva and Thangalaan, has addressed the trolls with an X (formerly Twitter) post.

G Dhananjeyan, who appears to be frustrated with the trolls and comments from fans of Suriya and Chiyaan Vikram and moviegoers, recently expressed his thoughts on his official X (formerly Twitter) account. The producer of Kanguva and Thangalaan kindly requested the fans remain calm and explain why the release dates have not been announced yet. In his post, Dhananjeyan stated, “I frequently come across numerous posts and trolls regarding the release date announcement of Kanguva and Thangalaan, with me being tagged. However, I urge you all to relax. We understand your excitement, but as a producer who has invested significant amounts of money, I know when to release my films to maximize revenue and minimize risks.” The producer emphasized that the release date will be determined by economic factors and the availability of a suitable date rather than to please certain individuals. Therefore, he urged everyone to avoid offering advice, criticism, or comments. Instead, he requested support when the official announcement was made and encouraged everyone to patiently wait for the news without engaging in unnecessary negativity. G Dhananjeyan’s recent post hints at the challenges faced by the makers in announcing the release dates for Suriya and Vikram’s films. However, fans can anticipate a significant update on both movies shortly.

Following the disappointing performances of major releases Ayalaan, Captain Miller, and Lal Salaam, the Tamil film industry had high hopes for the upcoming releases of Vikram’s Thangalaan and Suriya’s Kanguva. Thangalaan, directed by Pa. Ranjith, was initially scheduled for a January 2024 release but faced delays first due to post-production tasks and later due to the elections. On the other hand, Suriya’s Kanguva was anticipated to hit the screens in April 2024 but was postponed due to extensive VFX work. The setbacks in the release of these high-budget projects have not only disappointed the fans but also plunged the Tamil film industry into a serious crisis, with theaters now banking on the trend of re-releases. The gravity of the situation is not lost on the industry, and they are working hard to overcome these challenges.
