Ajith Sir Is A Major Influence Says Kaantha Star Dulquer Salmaan
In a conversation with talk-show host Gopinath, he mentioned that Ajith Kumar's enthusiasm for racing motivates him, stating, "I have watched numerous videos of Ajith sir on the racing circuits, though it's not a sport I actively follow. Nevertheless, he has been a significant source of inspiration for me. He has always had a passion for racing. I recall the times he participated in F3 and F4. It seems like he has traveled the globe on his bike. I admire that he is currently chasing his passion," he remarked.
Kaantha represents Dulquer Salmaan's return to Tamil cinema following 2022's Hey Sinamika. The film is co-produced by Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan under their respective banners, Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films.
The film's technical crew features cinematographer Dani Sanchez Lopez, editor Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalvez, composer Jhanu Chanthar, and art director Ramalingam. Thamizh Prabha serves as the additional dialogue writer and story consultant, along with additional screenwriter Sri Harsha Rameshwaram.
Meanwhile, Ajith Kumar, who was last seen in Magizh Thirumeni's Vidaamuyarchi and Adhik Ravichandran's Good Bad Ugly this year, is set to collaborate again with Adhik for an unnamed project.
