Set in 1950s Madras, the film explores the complex relationship between a filmmaker and his star, the creative highs, emotional turmoil, and professional rivalries that shape their stardom.
Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj and produced by Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati under Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media, 'Kaantha' was initially slated for release in September but was postponed to make way for 'Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra.'
On the work front, Dulquer, who recently appeared in a cameo in Lokah, also has two more projects lined up. He will be next seen in 'Aakasamlo Oka Tara' in Telugu and 'I'm Game' in Malayalam.
