What is causing the rumoured delay in Kanguva release?

If the rumours are to be believed, the makers of Kanguva are now eyeing October 31 as its release date, which will coincide with Diwali. As per chatter in the trade circles, the makers have postponed the date to avoid a clash with Vettaiyan, another big pan-India release, starring Rajinikanth, Fahadh Faasil and Amitabh Bachchan.

Industry insider AB George shared a tweet on X, sharing and detailing on the new information. He tweeted, “Due to distributors request #Suriya’s pan Indian movie #Kanguva postponed to Deepavali. October 31 release.” Although the news is not certain yet, an official confirmation in the regard is highly awaited from the makers' side.
