About Kaantha
Set in 1950s Madras, the period drama is written and directed by Selvaraj Selvamani. It's about ‘King of Acting’ Chandran (played by Salmaan) and director Ayya (played by Samuthirakani), who mentored the former, and the ego-driven clash between these two artistic giants. It is a tale of art, ambition and rivalry.
The film is inspired by the life of the late Tamil legend MK Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, portrayed by Dulquer.
Kaantha is jointly produced by Salmaan and Daggubati under Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media.
