Kanguva producer Gnanavel Raja called Kalki a gateway for South Indian films
In a recent interview, the Kanguva producer revealed his point about how Kalki 2898 AD worked as a gateway for the upcoming biggies from the South Indian film industry.
In the interview, the producer of Kanguva discussed how Kalki 2898 AD served as a gateway for upcoming major South Indian films. Gnanavel Raja mentioned that the star-studded film directly influenced him and his forthcoming movie, Kanguva, starring Suriya.
The Sillunu Oru Kaadhal producer remarked, “On Kalki 2898 AD release, I didn't sleep for 3 days because it will impact every South film which is releasing in North. It will not create a big impact on Pushpa; there will be an indirect impact.”
He noted that the epic dystopian film Kalki gained the trust of the North Indian audience, stating, “Trust will go, for audience, for the trade, for a South film which is releasing big in Hindi.”
The Singam producer expressed his happiness and relief over the big-budget flick, saying, “I announced the Kanguva date on the same day evening when I knew that Kalki is doing well,”
