The official teaser of Kaantha starring Dulquer Salmaan is finally here, with the OK Kanmani actor becoming a superstar in the golden period of Indian cinema.

Kaantha Teaser Review
Kaantha showcases a period drama cinematic venture, set in the 1950s of Tamil cinema. The era, considered to be the golden age of Indian cinema, features Dulquer Salmaan as a superstar unlike any other in his contemporary life.
With his rise in glory, the teaser showcases an intense look into how a superstar made a film his own, enjoying love from everyone around him. As he begins a new movie, “Saantha” set to become Tamil cinema’s first-ever horror flick, the superstar reunites with his mentor, teasing a rising animosity between them.
While the teaser started off as if it would be a revenge ploy by the superstar’s former mentor, the dynamics take a massive shift as Dulquer Salmaan’s character makes the final decisions on set. With every change, the film once titled Saantha would also be changed to “Kaantha,” a name meant for him.
