On Dulquer Salmaan’s birthday, the teaser of his upcoming film Kaantha was unveiled, offering a glimpse into a gripping story of ambition and creative rivalry. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, this Tamil-Telugu bilingual also stars Samuthirakani and Bhagyashree Borse in key roles.
The teaser reveals how the original horror script Shaantha, gets transformed by Chandran into Kaantha, shifting its core to suit his stardom. This sparks a conflict between artistic vision and personal ambition. The film explores themes of loyalty, identity, and control.
Dulquer plays a superstar, while Samuthirakani appears as a respected filmmaker. Both deliver intense performances, with Bhagyashree Borse making a notable impact.
Visually, Kaantha stands out. Cinematographer Dani Sanchez Lopez captures 1950s Madras beautifully, while Ramalingam recreates the film industry’s past with detail. Jhanu Chanthar’s background score adds tension.
Produced by Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media, Kaantha hits screens on September 12.
