Dulqer Tollywood project Kaantha on hold. According to reliable sources, the highly anticipated Telugu film 'Kaantha,' starring Dulquer Salmaan, has reportedly been temporarily shelved by the producers. "The decision has been made to revisit the script, requiring additional time before production commences," a source revealed. The insider further explained, "Producer Suresh Babu reviewed the final draft, providing valuable insights. The director's team has willingly embraced the suggestions, recognizing Suresh Babu's extensive experience in the Telugu and Hindi film industry. They are confident that these modifications will pave the way for a guaranteed success."
The involvement of producer Suresh Babu is significant, as the film is produced by his son, actor Rana Daggubati. The initial unveiling of the film's first look occurred on Dulquer Salmaan's birthday last year, creating much anticipation for its scheduled shoot this year.
Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, known for his debut feature 'Nila' (2016) and the Netflix documentary series 'The Hunt for Veerappan,' the film is a joint production of Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films and Rana Daggubati's Spirit Media. 'Kaantha' is slated for release in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil languages.
In the meantime, Dulquer Salmaan's recent release, 'King of Kotha,' faced challenges at the box office. The actor also ventured into the digital realm with Raj and DK's 'Guns and Gulaabs.' Notably, he is set to collaborate with Telugu director Venky Atluri for an upcoming film titled 'Lucky Bhaskar.' Despite the temporary setback, Dulquer Salmaan continues to explore diverse projects across various platforms.
