Rana on Dulquer casting in Kaantha. Dulqer Salmaan is starring in a film titled Kaantha which is in fullswing under the direction of Selvamani Selvaraj.

It is known that the film is bankrolled by Rana Daggubati&rsquo;s Spirit Media and Dulquer Salmaan&rsquo;s Wayfarer Films. Speaking about it, Rana said&nbsp; &ldquo;Each story decides who its actor is in some manner, and everyone is right for a certain role. And I think if you&rsquo;re trying to be a producer of a film, it&rsquo;s about finding the best for that story. The second I heard it, I didn&rsquo;t see anyone but Dulquer in it. So I was like, if he probably wasn&rsquo;t in it, we probably would not have made the film.&rdquo;

Rana heaped praises on Dulqer saying &ldquo;Dulquer is so secure in terms of just being an actor, things don&rsquo;t need to go into a mainstream beat of things for him to create a successful film. So I think in that way, he was probably the best guy to collaborate with.&rdquo;
