Kanguva is a pan India film. Bobby Deol is in the role of villain in the film. They have a lot of expectations from this. In the film he has to compete with Tamil superstar Suriya. The story of this film is divided into two periods. In one, Surya is in a modern avatar and in the other, he has become the king of the story that happened 700 years ago.
Some time ago it was reported that the film is based on a king named Vel Pari. However, the makers have not given any official information on this. But he has not denied it either.
Actually 'Vel Pari' is also a Tamil novel. In this, the name of a king is Vel Pari. A few days ago director S. Shankar had said that he has the rights of 'Vel Pari' and no one else can make a film on it. At that time, 'Devra' was accused that this film was based on 'Vel Pari'. But the movie came and the matter ended. But it is being said about 'Kanguwa' that the story may not have been lifted from the novel 'Vel Pari', but Surya's character is loosely based on a king named Vel Pari. Anyway, let us tell you what is the story of Raja Vel Pari?
Hundreds of years ago there was a place called Tamilakam. It was formed by combining Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Andhra Pradesh and the southern part of Karnataka. There was a kingdom named Parambunadu in Tamilakam. The Velir dynasty ruled here. Vel Pari was a king of this dynasty. Kapilar was a friend of Vel Pari. He was a poet. He wrote a poem based on the life of Vel Pari. It is part of the Tamil epic 'Purananuru'. In this he has mentioned the stories of the life of Vel Pari. Actually, there are 400 vigorous songs in 'Purananuru'. These have been written by 157 poets. It mentions 48 kings of the Tamil kingdom. One of these kings is Vel Pari.
It is said that Vel Pari was very generous. While going in the chariot, he once saw a vine plant which was not growing. He left his chariot there to support that plant. Apart from being generous, Vel Pari was also a great warrior. At that time Tamilakam was ruled by Chola, Chera and Pandya dynasties. Apart from these, the Velir dynasty used to rule independently in Parambunadu. There were about 300 villages in this state. His kingdom was running smoothly.
It is said that then there was a competition for empire expansion among Chola, Chera and Pandya dynasties. These three started creating havoc in Tamilakam. The king who did not surrender before them would be killed. The kingdom of Well Pari also came under their target. All three wanted to annex Parambunadu to their empire. But Vel Pari did not agree. He sent his messenger to the three kings. The matter did not work out. After this a fierce battle took place. Vel Pari fought very bravely in this war. His name became immortal forever in Tamil history.
