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’s Spirit Media and Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films. Speaking about it, Rana said “Each story decides who its actor is in some manner, and everyone is right for a certain role. And I think if you’re trying to be a producer of a film, it’s about finding the best for that story. The second I heard it, I didn’t see anyone but Dulquer in it. So I was like, if he probably wasn’t in it, we probably would not have made the film.”
Rana heaped praises on Dulqer saying “Dulquer is so secure in terms of just being an actor, things don’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.”
The film stars Rana, Bhagyashri Borse, and Samuthirakani in key roles and has the 1950s post Independence era Chennai backdrop.
