Birthday celebration for Dulquer Salmaan as makers release the initial sneak peek of film Kaantha
In the world of cinema, two highly anticipated films are making waves. The teaser for the long-awaited sequel to the classic sports drama "Bend It Like Beckham" has been released, and the horror film "Kaantha," a period drama set in 1950s Madras, has made its debut.
The "Bend It Like Beckham" sequel promises to be as engaging as its predecessor, with foot-tapping background music in the trailer that is sure to get your toes tapping. The film's narrative suggests that each character has layers that will be revealed as the story unfolds. Interestingly, the sequel features Akshay Oberoi, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi performing their own high-octane stunts, adding an extra layer of excitement to the movie.
On the other hand, "Kaantha," directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, is a horror film that marks its territory as the first in Tamil cinema. The teaser hints at a complex dynamic between the characters, particularly between Dulquer Salmaan's character and a character named Ayya. The relationship between these two seems to have strained over time, adding intrigue to the narrative.
"Kaantha" tells the story of Ayya, a legendary director and writer, and Chandran, an ambitious actor whom Ayya mentored. Their close friendship sours when Chandran alters the film's concept to boost his own stardom, leading to an intense rivalry fueled by ambition, ego, and betrayal. The film delves into themes of legacy, artistic ego, and identity reclamation in cinema.
The film stars an impressive cast, including Dulquer Salmaan, Rana Daggubati, Bhagyashri Borse, and Samuthirakani. "Kaantha" is a bilingual Tamil-Telugu production, jointly produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films and Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media.
The teaser for "Kaantha" has been released on Dulquer Salmaan's birthday, July 28, and the film is set for release in theaters on September 12 this year. The teaser has generated positive responses from netizens, causing a surge in viewership.
The trailer for the "Bend It Like Beckham" sequel, however, does not yet have a specified release date. The trailer features part-colour and part black and white footages, hinting at a blend of old and new elements in the story.
Both "Kaantha" and the "Bend It Like Beckham" sequel promise to be exciting additions to the world of cinema, with intriguing narratives, talented casts, and engaging visuals. Stay tuned for more updates on these films!
