Production

In March 2019, two months after the release of director Siva's Viswasam, reports claimed that actor Suriya would collaborate with Siva for a film to be produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green. The project was in talks for quite a few months and Siva had committed to do a film with Studio Green for more than a year.

Siva began pre-production works on his film with Suriya in January 2021 when filming of Annaatthe was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During that September, sets were erected in EVP Film City in Chennai. In January 2022, Suriya affirmed that his film with Siva was still underway. That March, either Anirudh Ravichander or Ravi Basrur were reported to be replacing D. Imman, who was initially announced as the music composer.

The film was launched on 21 August in Agaram Foundation, Chennai with a customary pooja ceremony and was tentatively titled Suriya 42, as it became Suriya's 42nd film in a leading role. On 24 August, Studio Green and UV Creations announced that they would jointly produce the film. Vetri and Richard Kevin were recruited to handle the cinematography and editing, respectively.

On 16 April 2023, the title was announced as Kanguva through a title announcement teaser. In an interview with Kumudam in late April, G. Dhananjayan, who was in constant communication with the film's producers, said that the film could have a sequel. He said that the film's story was extensive, and the producers were unwilling to shorten it. Both Siva and Gnanavel Raja had been planning to create a sequel and Suriya had already agreed to it.

Suriya would reportedly be seen in 13 different looks in the film, breaking the record set by his earlier film Ayan (2009), he was seen in ten different looks. The makeup artist Ranjith Ambady and his team took references from Apocalypto (2006) for designing one of Suriya's looks for the periodic portions. For his role, Suriya shed a further 5 kilograms.
