Chennai, Aug 9 (NationPress) The team behind director Selvamani Selvaraj's eagerly awaited period drama, 'Kaantha', starring Dulquer Salmaan and Bhagyashri Borse, unveiled the enchanting romantic first single 'Panimalare' on Saturday.

Dulquer Salmaan took to his social media platforms, sharing the link to this newly released single, stating, "A love that echoes through time. Our first single is OUT NOW! #PANIMALARE #PASIMANASE. Join us in dancing along to this mesmerizing tune as we celebrate the launch of our first song from @kaanthafilm. Discover their tale in cinemas worldwide on September 12th. This is a production by @thespiritmedia and @dqswayfarerfilms."

This retro-styled melodious track, featuring Dulquer and Bhagyashri, is composed by Jhanu Chanthar and Sivam, with lyrics by Kutti Revathi and additional lyrics contributed by Sivam and Deepika Karthik Kumar. The vocals are performed by Pradeep Kumar and Priyanka NK.

The film has generated significant excitement among audiences and fans, particularly following the recent teaser release.

The teaser commences with an announcement that 'Saantha', produced by Modern Studios, is set to be Tamil cinema's inaugural horror film. The film, directed and scripted by Ayya (Samuthirakani), features Dulquer Salmaan in the lead role. It’s clear that there is tension between the director and the protagonist, as they seem to be at odds with each other. Ayya wants a scene where a character named Chandran is frightened by a spirit named Neeli to be filmed first, while Dulquer prefers to shoot a lighter scene initially.

Once collaborators, the hero and director are now depicted as adversaries. The teaser illustrates how Ayya played a crucial role in shaping Dulquer's career, but their relationship has since soured. Ayya aims to focus on the heroine's character, while Dulquer continues to push for changes. Ultimately, the teaser showcases Dulquer changing the film’s title from 'Saantha' to 'Kaantha'.

The film is confirmed to be released on September 12 this year.

'Kaantha' is a captivating period thriller set against the backdrop of 1950s Madras, aiming to transport viewers to that era's essence. It explores a time when tradition intertwined with modernity, giving rise to deeply personal and impactful narratives.

Insiders suggest that the film, supported by powerful performances, is rich in texture and boasts stunning visuals.

This production, a collaboration between Spirit Media and Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films, features cinematography by acclaimed cameraman Dani Sanchez Lopaz and music composed by Jhanu Chanthar. Art direction is handled by Tha. Ramalingam, with editing by Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalves.
