Kaantha is a period drama featuring Dulquer Salmaan and Samuthirakani in key roles, with Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film’s trailer was released today, and it’s very impressive.
The teaser had already laid the groundwork, hinting at a fierce clash of egos between a guru and his disciple. In the story, Samuthirakani plays the mentor-director, while Dulquer Salmaan takes on the role of the ambitious actor.
The trailer dives straight into the drama. It introduces Shaantha, a horror film being made by Modern Pictures, directed by Ayya, and starring the legendary TK Mahadeva. But things take a sharp turn when Mahadeva, driven by personal motives linked to his mentor, takes over as the director.
Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha Trailer Raises Expectations
Meanwhile, Kumari (played by Bhagyashri Borse) is drawn to Mahadeva’s charm but continues to follow Ayya’s guidance, creating emotional tension. The plot thickens when a cop, played by Rana Daggubati, gets involved in the film’s production, adding more chaos to the already intense situation.
Kaantha’s trailer builds strong curiosity and promises high drama. Performances by Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse, Rana Daggubati, and Ravindra Vijay look solid and engaging. The music by Jhanu Chanthar adds depth and perfectly sets the tone.
Backed by Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films, the film is produced by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri, and Jom Varghese. Kaantha is set to release in Telugu and Tamil on November 14, 2025.
