variety.com:

Naman Ramachandran Actor and producer Dulquer Salmaan will headline “Kaantha,” which will be produced by him alongside “Baahubali” star Rana Daggubati.

The film will be directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, whose debut feature “Nila” (2016) won the audience award at the Cinequest San Jose Film Festival.

Selvaraj’s documentary series “The Hunt for Veerappan” is set to release on Netflix on August 4. The filmmaker also assisted the Ang Lee on “Life of Pi.” Plot details for “Kaantha” are under wraps save that Salmaan will be showcased in a “never seen before role.” The project was revealed on the occasion of Salmaan’s birthday.

Salmaan will produce via his Wayfarer Films and Daggubati through Spirit Media. Though hailing from the Kerala-based Malayalam-language film industry, Salmaan is a rare breed in Indian cinema in that he has equal felicity in multiple languages.
