Dulquer Salman, who recently scored a massive hit with Lucky Bhaskar, enjoys huge popularity in both Malayalam and Telugu cinema. His Telugu films such as Mahanati, Sita Ramam and Lucky Bhaskar were warmly embraced by audiences. Fans continue to watch his work eagerly, no matter the language.
After Lucky Bhaskar, Dulquer is currently working on Kaantha, a period drama set against the backdrop of Madras. The film tells the story of making a movie in those days. Dulquer plays the lead character, while well-known actor Samuthirakani appears as a director. The intense looks and vintage setting shown so far have already caught the attention of many.
Directed by Selvaraghavan’s assistant Selva Mani Selvaraj, Kaantha was originally scheduled to release on 12 September. However, reports on social media now suggest that the release has been postponed. According to industry buzz, the makers are considering shifting the release to October, aiming to bring the film to theatres during the Diwali festive season. If the rumours are true, the film may arrive in the third week of October as a Diwali treat for fans.
So far, the producers have not made an official statement about the delay. Until then, speculation continues.
Kaantha is being produced under Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salman, Jom Varghese and Prashanth Potluri. Actress Bhagyashree Borse plays the female lead in this much-awaited drama.
For now, fans of Dulquer Salman will have to wait a little longer to see if the film indeed shifts its date. Either way, expectations remain high as the actor continues to strengthen his position in Telugu cinema alongside Malayalam.
