Kaantha, a period film directed by Selvamani Selvaraj and starring Dulquer Salmaan, Rana Daggubati, and Bhagyashri Borse in the lead roles, is all set to hit theatres on November 14.

Expectations are soaring for the film, which has been in the making for over five years. The film is touted to present Dulquer Salmaan in a never-before-seen avatar, marking a milestone in his career.

During one of the promotional events for the film, Rana, who has co-produced the movie alongside Dulquer, praised his long-time friend and colleague for his immaculate portrayal of T.K. Mahadevan (played by Dulquer) in the film. In fact, the Telugu superstar went on to say that with the release of Kaantha, Dulquer will be revered as Nadippin Chakravarthy and will become the first choice for playing the lead role in any period films being made in India going forward.

Adding to the excitement, Bhagyashri Borse, who plays the female lead in the film, expressed her desire to work with Dulquer again during an interaction with fans. Bhagyashri’s last theatrical outing was in Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom, directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri.

When asked if there was any other Malayalam actor she would like to work with, she quickly replied, “I admire Prithviraj sir a lot, and I would like to collaborate with him.” Her revelation was met with applause from the audience.

Fans are thrilled as Kaantha prepares to hit the big screen. Meanwhile, the character poster of Prithviraj as Kumbha from S.S. Rajamouli’s yet-to-be-titled globetrotter, also starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, was unveiled yesterday to much fanfare.
