Nani giving the first clap shows the camaraderie between South Indian stars. But I wish they'd reveal the genre - is it action, romance, or something else?

The team looks solid - Ravi Nelakuditi directing, GV Prakash for music, and Anay Goswamy's cinematography. But hope the story lives up to the technical brilliance. Recent pan-India films have been disappointing.

As someone new to Indian cinema, I find these puja ceremonies fascinating! The blend of tradition and filmmaking is unique. Dulquer has great screen presence - looking forward to this!

Between DQ41 and Kaantha, Dulquer is having a busy year! The man never rests. But quality over quantity please - hope both films get proper attention and don't feel rushed.

The teaser of Kaantha already has me emotional! Father-son stories always hit home. September 2025 is so far away though 😭 Can't wait to see Dulquer in this intense role.
