The project restarted in August 2022, under the tentative title Suriya 42. Principal photography commenced the same month and lasted for seventeen months before wrapping up in January 2024. The title Kanguva was announced in April 2023. Filming locations included Chennai, Goa, Kerala, Kodaikanal and Rajahmundry. The film has music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, cinematography handled by Vetrivel Palanisamy and editing by Nishadh Yusuf. Produced on a budget of around ₹300–350 crore, it is one of the most expensive Indian films ever made.

The film grossed ₹106 crore, making it a box-office failure.
