Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha to hit Netflix on 12 December
Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha has a digital streaming date. Nearly a month after its theatrical release, the Selvamani Selvaraj feature, will have its OTT premiere on Dec. 12.
The period drama-thriller follows the turbulent relationship between a superstar and his mentor while working on a new film directed by the latter.
Samuthirakani plays the latter, while Rana Daggubati appears in the second half as a cop tasked with investigating a murder.
During its theatrical run, Kaantha wasn’t well-received by certain section of audiences despite Dulquer Salmaan’s performance getting raves and mostly positive critics’ reviews for the storytelling.
Among the key reasons for the waning interest is the near-three-hour runtime.
Taking into the account the feedback of some viewers, the makers even went to the extent of releasing a trimmed version in theatres. It’s not yet known if Netflix will release the original cut or the latter.
