Kanguva producer KE Gnanavel Raja on Friday, November 15 addressed the criticism of the film’s loud music, especially in the initial few minutes. In a media interaction organised over Zoom, the producer acknowledged the issue and assured that the film’s team is already working on the corrective measures. As reported by the Telugu portal Aakashavaani, he admitted that the ‘loudness’ in the film is because of ‘sound mixing’ and the changes will be reflected by the night shows today.
The producer added that they have not received any more complaints about the audience’s viewing experience, and the issues related to the music would be fixed soon. Gnanavel Raja shared that the film’s team had also requested the exhibitors to ‘reduce two points of volume’ to ‘nullify’ the negative feedback involving the sound issues in the film.
Earlier, Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty reflected on the loud music in Kanguva and many films. Sharing a screenshot of India Today’s review of the film, he wrote a big note and blamed the problem on the ‘last minute fixes’.
The producer also shared an update about the second part of Kanguva. After Suriya’s film welcomed Karthi as the new villain in part two of the series, Raja said director Siva is going to direct it after wrapping up his film with Thala Ajith. He promised that the scale of Kanguva 2 would be massive and bigger than the first part.
He went on to talk about the critical and commercial response to the film. Gnanavel Raja said the team is happy with the audience’s reception of Kanguva and the film is going to be the biggest hit of Suriya’s career. He shared that he’s happy how it is going to beat all the records set by the actor’s previous films at the box office. He, however, admitted that they were expecting the opening numbers to be bigger, but are hoping for the first weekend business to fill that bridge soon.
Kanguva, also starring Bobby Deol and Disha Patani, was released on November 14, Thursday as the big Tamil Pan-India film. It is running alongside Amaran in theatres.
