Tragedy Strikes 'Kanguva': Editor Nishad Yusuf's Mysterious Death Shocks Team as Suriya's Epic Nears Release
The upcoming major pan-Indian film from the Tamil film industry, "Kanguva," has garnered immense interest among viewers. Suriya stars in a leading role in this film, which is currently being promoted in all languages, with a special focus on Telugu and Tamil through various events to attract more attention.
Amid these promotional activities, the film crew received distressing news. The editor of the film, Nishad Yusuf, died under suspicious circumstances, which has deeply disturbed the team. He was found dead in his apartment in Kochi, causing a stir in the cinema community. Nishad, who was actively involved in the editing of the film, died suddenly at 2 AM, confirmed by the police. His body was found lifeless in his apartment in Panampilly Nagar, Kochi. With various suspicions arising, the police have registered a case and are conducting an investigation. They are interrogating residents of the apartment as well as Nishad's close friends and are looking into disputes among family members. However, his relatives insist that he had no troubles that would lead him to take his own life. The police are urged to conduct a thorough investigation. Nishad's death has plunged the Tamil and Malayalam film industries into mourning, with many industry leaders coming to pay their last respects.
Nishad Yusuf had worked on several intriguing films in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages, including "Audios Amigos," "Unda," "One," "Petarap," and "Saudi Vellakka," contributing significantly through his editing work. His sudden demise is a significant loss to the film industry. His last project, the massive pan-Indian film "Kanguva," is set to release on November 14. This tragic event has hit the film unit hard, just 15 days before the movie's release.
The team of "Kanguva" has expressed their shock over Nishad Yusuf's death. The hero, Suriya, stated that the news deeply upset him and he prayed for peace for Nishad's soul.
Meanwhile, promotions for the "Kanguva" movie are progressing rapidly in both Tamil and Telugu. Suriya himself is busy with press meets in Telugu. On Sunday, he visited the Bigg Boss house and interacted with the contestants along with Nagarjuna. Suriya has also started promotions in the Hindi belt. Alongside heroine Disha Patani and Bobby Deol, who plays the villain in the film, he is actively participating in the promotional activities. The film is scheduled for a global theatrical release on November 14.
The makers of "Kanguva" aim to release the film simultaneously in eight languages. Producer KA Gnanavel shared that while Suriya has dubbed for the Tamil version, AI-assisted dubbing is being used for other languages. This marks the first time AI is being utilized in Kollywood for dubbing purposes. The recent release "Vettaiyan" employed AI to alter Amitabh Bachchan’s voice, and now the complete dubbing for "Kanguva" is being done using AI, indicating a successful experiment, as believed by the producer. The film will be released in all major Indian languages as well as in English, French, and Spanish, with release dates for Chinese and Japanese to be announced soon.
With a target of Rs. 1000 crore in collections, "Kanguva" is set for a grand release, as recently stated by producer Gnanavel. The stories for parts 2 and 3 are also ready, and if the first part is successful, plans to produce these sequels will proceed. The producer has expressed confidence that this film will elevate Suriya to a new level, with a strong emphasis on action and emotions in the movie, which is currently being shot at a brisk pace. Disha Patani stars opposite Suriya, and Bobby Deol, famous for "Animal," plays the villain. Suriya will appear as a warrior named Kanga in the film.
