crime
thriller
Kaantha,
which
released
in

worldwide
on

14,
2025,
is
set
to
begin
its
digital
streaming.
The
film,
directed
by
Selvamani
Selvaraj
and
co-written
by
Thamizh
Prabha,
is
a
fictionalized
account
inspired
by
the
life
of
legendary
actor
M.
K.
Thyagaraja
Bhagavathar.
It
was
jointly
produced
by
Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Rana

under
their
respective
banners,
Wayfarer
Films
and
Spirit
Media,
with
additional

Set
in
1950s
Madras,
Kaantha
focuses
on
the
dynamics
between
Ayya,
a
celebrated
director,
and
T.
K.
Mahadevan,
a
film
star
whose
career
Ayya
helped
establish.
The
narrative
gains
momentum
when
Mahadevan
changes
the
title
of
a
female-centric
film
from
Shaantha
to
Kaantha,
aligning
it
with
his
own
persona.
Following
this
change,
a
murder
occurs
on
the
film’s
set,
prompting
an
investigation
led
by
Inspector
Devaraj.
Both
Mahadevan
and
Ayya
become
central
figures
in
the
case,
with
the
storyline
unfolding
around
the
tension
between
professional
rivalry
and
the
search
for
truth.
