Dulquer Salmaan, who takes center stage in the film, shared the link to the mesmerizing track on his social media platforms.
In his post, he expressed, "Some songs aren't just heard, they're felt! #KanmaniNee, a timeless melody from #Kaantha, is OUT NOW! Produced by @SpiritMediaIN and @DQsWayfarerFilm.
Composed by Jhanu Chanthar, the newly released 'Kanmani Nee' captivates with its soothing orchestration reminiscent of a bygone era. The poetic lyrics crafted by Deepika Karthik Kumar combined with Pradeep Kumar’s emotive vocals add profound emotional layers, making 'Kanmani Nee' an immediate favorite among those who cherish classic romance.
The song eloquently portrays the vintage love story between the lead characters portrayed by Dulquer Salmaan and Bhagyashri Borse.
For those who may not know, 'Kaantha' was initially set to premiere on September 12. However, the release date has now been pushed to November 14.
A teaser released earlier has generated immense buzz among fans and movie lovers, further heightening anticipation for the film.
The teaser opens with an announcer proclaiming that 'Saantha', a film produced by Modern Studios, will be Tamil cinema's first horror film. It depicts the film's production journey. Ayya (played by Samuthirakani) serves as the writer and director, while Dulquer Salmaan assumes the lead role. Tensions arise as the director and actor appear to be at odds, no longer on speaking terms. Ayya wishes to shoot a scene featuring a character named Chandran encountering a spirit named Neeli first, while Dulquer prefers to film a more pleasant scene initially.
Once allies, the actor and director have now become adversaries, despite previously sharing mutual respect and admiration. The teaser hints that Ayya was instrumental in shaping Dulquer into the star he is today. Yet, the landscape has shifted. Ayya aims to elevate the heroine's role, while Dulquer continues to push for changes. Ultimately, the teaser concludes with Dulquer altering the film's title from 'Saantha' to 'Kaantha'.
Set against the backdrop of 1950s Madras, 'Kaantha' promises to transport audiences to a time when tradition clashed with modernity, presenting both intimate and profound narratives.
