With just a few days to go for the release of Kaantha, Dulquer Salmaan's much-anticipated period drama thriller, his co-star Bhagyashri Borse has penned a note of gratitude to him as well as the film's entire unit in which she called the Sita Ramam actor, "a nadippu chakravarthy (emperor of acting)".
Taking to her Instagram page, Bhagyashri Borse wrote a post thanking director Selvamani Selvaraj, and actors Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan. She marked the day 30.03.2023 as the day she truly became Kumari, her character from Kaantha.
She began by thanking the director of the film, Selvamani Selvaraj for placing trust in her. She wrote, "Thank you Selvamani Selvaraj Ayya, for believing in me and for this rare opportunity to a newcomer such as me. You’re my first teacher, director. This film is your vision, and soon our audience will witness your magic."
She next thanked actor Rana Daggubatti, calling him her mentor. She said, "Thank you Rana Daggubatti for supporting me from day one. You’re a true friend and a gem of a person, and I am lucky to have you as my mentor in this journey as an actor and without your support and constant guidance, I wouldn’t be able to do it."
Bhagyashri then penned a paragraph for the film's lead actor Dulquer Salmaan, saying, "To my dearest co-actor Dulquer Salmaan, you’re a true 'Nadippu Chakravarthy', it was a great pleasure acting beside you and you’ve shined in every single frame. You’re an inspiration as an actor for us all!"
"This 14th Nov is extremely special to us all, and I hope it will be special to our audience to watch a film made with so much love," she added.
The film is jointly produced by Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan under their Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films banners respectively.
Kaantha marks a comeback into Tamil cinema for Dulquer after 2022's Hey Sinamika. The film's technical team includes cinematographer Dani Sanchez Lopez, editor Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalvez, composer Jhanu Chanthar, and art director Ramalingam. Thamizh Prabha serves as its additional dialogue writer and story consultant, as well as additional screenwriter along with Sri Harsha Rameshwaram.
Kaantha hits theatres on November 14 where it will clash with Kumki 2 and Madharas Mafia Company at the box office. The re-release of Cheran's Autograph is also scheduled to hit theatres on the same day.
