Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media, in partnership with Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films and the renowned Suresh Productions, is making the multilingual film “Kaantha” being directed by Selvamani Selvaraj. The film features Dulquer Salmaan playing the lead role, while Bhagyashree is the lead actress, and Samuthirakani will be seen in a crucial role.
In a monumental celebration of both cinema and talent, KAANTHA is proud to unveil its highly anticipated first-look poster, marking a special occasion for the film and its lead actor, Dulquer Salmaan. The release of the poster comes on the heels of Dulquer’s remarkable 13-year journey in the film industry, showcasing an impressive body of work that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.
The first look poster released by the makers highlight Dulquer Salmaan in a striking, intense avatar, dressed in a suit with a distinctive new hairstyle. The poster captures him with a fierce expression.
Set against the backdrop of 1950s Madras, “Kaantha” delves into the complexities of human relationships and societal transformation during a pivotal era.
Dulquer Salmaan has been an indomitable presence in the industry since making his debut in 2012, earning acclaim for his versatility and dedication to his craft. From celebrated films like Bangalore days, Kannum kannum kolayadithal, O Kadhal Kanmani, Mahanati & Kurup to our recent massive successes like Sita Ramam & Lucky Baskhar, the actor’s career has been a testament to growth, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to storytelling.
“We are thrilled to not only give fans the first glimpse of Kaantha but also to honor the incredible milestone of Dulquer Salmaan’s 13th year in cinema,” said Selvamani Selvaraj, the film’s director, who previously delivered the riveting documentary series, ‘The hunt for Veerappan’ on Netflix. “This movie, much like the actor’s career, reflects a journey of evolution, challenge, and artistic expression. We couldn’t think of a more fitting way to mark this anniversary.”
This film has brought together two notable production houses in the form of Spirit Media, led by its founder Rana Daggubati, carrying forward the illustrious legacy of his grandfather, the legendary D. Ramanaidu and on the other hand we have Wayfarer Films, led by Dulquer Salmaan, Son of the iconic Malayalam superstar, Mammooty. This collective legacy of over a century in Indian cinema is coming together, bringing their formidable talent and capabilities to the forefront, promising a memorable film spectacle with Kaantha.
The poster release is set to ignite anticipation with its stunning design and evocative imagery, characters and themes ahead of the official movie launch, with a full trailer and more details to be revealed in the coming months.
