Fans reacted with heart emojis. He is returning to Malayalam cinema after King of Kotha, which was released in 2023.
Kaantha- Cast and Storyline
The actor was last seen in Kaantha. The film received mixed response from the audience. Set in 1950s Madras, Kaantha explores the stormy relationship between rising film star T. K. Mahadevan (Dulquer Salmaan) and his mentor Ayya (Samuthirakani), a filmmaker whose mentorship finally leads to confrontation.
Bhagyashri Borse plays Kumari, Mahadevan’s love interest, while Rana Daggubati portrays Inspector Devaraj, also known as “Phoenix,” a vital role in a strange crime that develops among clashing egos and mounting ambition.
Kaantha Faced Legal Trouble?
Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, has Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati on board, with Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media producing.
While early conjecture suggested that Kaantha was a biopic of M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavatar, Dulquer Salmaan and Rana Daggubati have confirmed that the film is entirely fictional. The film had been heavily criticised for reportedly relying on the life of famed Tamil actor and musician M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar (MKT), sparking issues over artistic freedom, defamation, and filmmakers’ duties.
The film was originally scheduled for a September release, but was moved back to allow the successful theatrical run of Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra, which Dulquer also produced and became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time.
