Yesterday i.e. on August 31, 2023, Suriya while attending the Meiyazhagan audio launch as the film's producer, took to the stage to officially confirm that Kanguva release is getting postponed. Suriya said on stage,
"On October 10, Rajini Sir's Vettaiyan is releasing. In respect of Vettaiyan, he (Rajinikanth) is elder to us, he (Rajini) came into acting when I was born, for more than 50 years he (Rajinikanth) has been a identity of Tamil cinema, for that elder, for Mr. Superstar, it is only right that his film comes is my belief. I also believe that you (the fans) will stand by me in this."
Rajinikanth on Sunday was asked by the Tamil media on his reaction to Kanguva giving way for Vettaiyan's solo release on October 10. The Superstar actor responded, "My heartfelt thanks to Suriya's love and affection. His movie (Kanguva) should also run well (in theaters). "
