Dulquer Salmaan's 'Kaantha' trailer drops: Fans predict blockbuster in the making

Dulquer Salmaan’s upcoming period-drama ‘Kaantha’ is all set to hit theatres on November 14. The recently released trailer of the film directed by Selvamani Selvaraj has only added to the excitement. Taking to social media to share the trailer, the actor wrote, "The world of Kaantha unfolds today! Trailer out now!’

The trailer promises a gripping drama as the story revolves around a superstar called T K Mahadevan (Dulquer Salmaan) and his mentor, a director called Ayya (Samuthirakani). It also shows Ayya telling Mahadevan that he has made producers accept him as the hero of the film. A grateful Mahadevan falls at the feet of Ayya.

However, a news report and a subsequent phone call dramatically alter the dynamic between the two powerhouses, sparking a clash of egos. Originally slated for a September 12 release, the team decided to postpone the premiere. The film is now scheduled to hit screens on November 14.

Set in 1950s Madras, the film captures a pivotal era when tradition and modernity collided, resulting in stories that are both personal and profound. Sources close to the unit say that the film, which has been anchored by powerful performances, is a richly textured story and has stunning visuals. Bhagyashri Borse plays the female lead opposite Dulquer.

Following the trailer release, several fans shared their excitement on X, claiming that Dulquer, who received a lot of love for his performance in 'Lucky Bhaskar', is all set to deliver yet another blockbuster.

The film, which is being jointly produced by Spirit Media and Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films, has cinematography by ace cameraman Dani Sanchez Lopaz and music by Jhanu Chanthar. Art direction for the film is by Tha. Ramalingam and editing is by Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalves.
