Dulquer Salmaan's upcoming Tamil film, Kaantha, is awaiting its release. Despite the shooting being completed, the makers have yet to announce the release date officially. The reason behind the delay is said to be the OTT giant Netflix, which has bagged the digital rights of the film. Kaantha needs to hit theaters according to Netflix's schedule, which has led to the delay.
Kaantha is a period drama set in the 1950s in Madras. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, the film marks Dulquer Salmaan's first major release after the blockbuster Lucky Baskhar. With its unique storyline and talented cast, Kaantha has generated a lot of hype among fans. As Dulquer Salmaan has a decent fan base across industries, it is carrying good buzz across all languages.
The OTT giant Netflix has acquired the digital rights of Kaantha, which means the film will be available on the platform after its theatrical release. With Dulquer Salmaan's growing popularity and reach across industries, Netflix will be the perfect platform for a big-scale movie like Kaantha. The makers are planning to release the film on September 5th, but it's uncertain whether Netflix will approve the date.
Dulquer Salmaan has gathered a decent fan base across industries, with a good reach in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu films. His fans are eagerly waiting for Kaantha's release. Kaantha has the potential to do good business in theaters and on Netflix.
