Dulquer Salmaan’s period film Kaantha grabbed eyeballs with its intriguing teaser that gave a sneak peek into the plotline of the movie set in the 50s backdrop. Bhagyashri Borse is the leading lady in this Tamil-Telugu bilingual directed by Selvamani Selvaraj. Samuthirakani plays a crucial role.
The movie is being produced on a grand scale by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri, and Jom Varghese under the banners of Spirit Media Pvt. Ltd. and Wayfarer Films Pvt. Ltd. The makers have now unveiled the film’s first single, Hey Pasi Manase, setting a tone of old-world romance.
The song, composed by Jhanu Chanthar, is a lovely tribute to the melodic sensibilities of the bygone era, complete with lush orchestration and analog warmth.
Krishna Kanth’s lyrics tell a sweet story of young love, and singers Pradeep Kumar and Priyanka NK bring the emotions to life with their beautiful rendition.
The visuals mirror this retro musical theme with detailed sets and costumes that take us back to an era of timeless cinema. Dulquer Salmaan and Bhagyashri Borse share an endearing bond, adding real charm to this nostalgic film moment.
Dani Sanchez Lopez is the cinematographer. The additional screenplay was provided by Thamizh Prabha, while editing was done by Lewellyn Anthony Gonsalves. Kaantha is slated to hit the big screens on September 12th.
