Its trailer launch was held today.
Art director Ramalingam said, “I am grateful to director Selvamani for giving me a chance in this film. I have been consistently doing period films in Tamil. I was surprised to see a documentary by the director and was eager to work with him. ‘Kantha’ is the first film to show cinema as a period story within cinema. I worked on this film with great commitment and without any challenge. I learned a lot from director Selvamani, who loves cinema. A work becomes successful only when the actors and technicians are given the necessary freedom. I am grateful to the director and producer for giving me that opportunity and freedom.”
Editor Antony Gonsalves, “Thank you to Dulquer sir, the production company, and director Selva for giving me the opportunity. I was amazed when I saw the sets of ‘Kantha’. All the actors were amazing. You will definitely like the heroine’s character. Like Simran ma’am, she will also come for a round in cinema. Rana sir will come in the second half. Dulquer-Rana-Samuthirakani have all competed and acted. ‘Kantha’ is the most challenging film I have edited so far. This film and director Selva will definitely go to a big place.”
Spirit Media, Prashanth, “In 2018, Selva and I came together for this film. I hope everyone liked the trailer. It will be a film that celebrates cinema. We have worked hard for this. Dulquer is amazing in the film as the acting king. You will definitely like the character of Rana. Samuthirakani is amazing in the role of Ayya. Bhagyasree is also amazing in her acting.”
Director Selvamani said, “I have loved watching cinema since I was a child. Cinema has taught me many things that no book or individual can teach me. It is this cinema that has taught me to be better today than I was yesterday. Cinema is the teacher I have loved and embraced. That is why I made my first film about cinema. I have shaped and filmed the personalities of the 1950s and the mental struggle within them. I was able to make this film possible only because there was a team that loved cinema even more than me. I told this story that I wrote in 2016 to Rana in 2019. He liked it immediately. It is because he believed in my story that I was able to start ‘Kandha’. It is a great thing that Rana and Dulquer have become a new director like me. We all enjoyed and made this film, and you will definitely enjoy it too. Samuthirakani has given an excellent performance in the role of Ayya. Bhagyasree has learned Tamil and acted sincerely. The technicians have also done a great job. They have worked. The film is releasing on the 14th of this month. Watch it and tell me”.
Actor Samuthirakani, “My cinematic journey can be divided into before and after the film ‘Kandha’. Before the trailer of ‘Subramaniapuram’ was released, I felt like I was getting a fever. I had the same feeling before the trailer of this film was released. Some films do such magic. I am proud to be in such films that cannot be erased by time. It is a pride to travel with my son Mahadevan, Kumari, my brother Rana and Selva. I feel so fulfilled just by pronouncing the name of Dulquer’s character Mahadevan. This work directed us. I realized that cinema is changing in ‘Kandha’. Director Selva will go to a big place. Dulquer has acted well. Bhagyashree will definitely come round. Rana’s intention is to have a good work. All the technicians have worked well. Congratulations on the success of the film”.
Actress Bhagyashree, “‘Kantha’ is a very special film for me. I hope you will like it as much as I did after watching this film. I am grateful to the film crew for believing in me, a newcomer, and giving me such a big opportunity. When Dulquer Salmaan was cast, I was nervous about how I was going to act in a way that would compensate him. But he gave me full support. I am grateful to Rana for finding me and giving me the opportunity. I am proud to debut in Tamil through the film ‘Kantha’!”.
Actor Rana, “I have heard many stories about cinema in my childhood. Director Selva has made me see it in person through this film. I welcome Bhagyashree to Tamil cinema. Samuthirakani has acted brilliantly. Dulquer’s acting
He has done a great job as Chakravarthy in this film. All the technicians have given life to this story. You will also like the film”.
Actor Dulquer Salmaan, “I heard the story of this film in 2019. Director Selva is a promising star of Tamil cinema. He loves cinema so much. I was eagerly waiting to act in this film. ‘Kantha’ will be a very important film in Tamil for all of us. Samuthirakani was the most suitable person for the role of ‘Ayya’. Samuthirakani acted in this film with even more enthusiasm than us. We want to act in many more films with him. Bhagyasree has learned Tamil for the role of Kumari and acted with full commitment. It is a pleasure that Rana and I have done this film together. Rana will give his full effort so that the film comes out well. These period films give the joy of doing time travel. Art director Ramalingam has done it well. Other technicians have also worked well for this film. It will be an unforgettable film for everyone who watches the film. Watch the film on November 14 and then tell me.”
Music composer Janu Santhar said, “Selva has been working on this story for over five years. Thanks to Rana, Dulquer and everyone. Only a few films give you an unforgettable cinematic experience. This film is one of them.”
