Suriya isn’t dodging the tough questions anymore. The actor has finally opened up about Kanguva’s box-office collapse, and in the same breath, addressed the one project every Tamil cinema fan keeps asking about — Rolex.

## What Suriya Said

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Suriya admitted he has no idea when Rolex will finally happen, candidly saying he doesn’t know what Lokesh Kanagaraj is doing.

## On Learning From Failure

Suriya got remarkably candid about how unpredictable success really is. He reflected on how you can pour almost 200 days — half a year — of trust and belief into a film and still watch it completely wash out, while a 45-day shoot can become the year’s biggest blockbuster, adding that after 30 years in the industry, he still hasn’t learned it all and is simply “flowing.

## Kanguva’s Fallout And The Karuppu Comeback

Kanguva released in 2024 with massive anticipation but turned into a major debacle at the box office, with the Shiva-directed period drama suffering heavy losses. The tide turned soon after — Suriya bounced back strongly with RJ Balaji’s “Karuppu,” which became his biggest blockbuster to date.

## Where Rolex Stands Now

Rolex has been one of Kollywood’s most-anticipated spin-offs since Suriya’s brief but iconic appearance in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram. Suriya previously revealed that after Vikram, Kanagaraj approached him about a standalone Rolex film, and while they’ve had a couple of meetings, both remain tied up with prior commitments.

Up next for Suriya is “Vishwanath & Sons,” releasing this Independence Day, keeping him firmly in the spotlight. The Lokesh Cinematic Universe — inspired by interconnected franchises like the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe) — continues to be one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious ongoing experiments.
