The teaser begins with the studio announcement of the film, titled 'Saantha', which is the first Tamil horror film. In the film, Samuthirakani plays the role of a director while Dulquer portrays the character of a superstar in the Tamil film industry. Leading 'Saantha' is Dulquer, a superstar who has been trained all his life by his father (Samuthirakani) to be in films, as per the teaser.

Kaantha teaser: Dulquer Salmaan locks horns with Samuthirakani in a battle of egos. Watch
Kaantha teaser: Dulquer Salmaan is all set to shed his 'heartthrob' image and embrace a very layered character that defies the traditional binaries of good and bad. In the much-anticipated Kaantha, the South Indian star will be playing a role, which is expected to explore the depth and range of his talent to the fullest. On the occasion of his 42nd birthday on Monday, the makers of the Tamil-Telugu bilingual movie unveiled its official teaser, offering a sneak peek into the alluring and eerie world of Kaantha. Focusing on the tense relationship between a film director father (Samuthirakani) and his actor son (Dulquer), the 2.12-minute teaser reveals that Kaantha also throws light on the functioning of the film industry of a bygone era. While the promo opens by showing the company Modern Studios announcing their upcoming movie, titled Saantha, touted as the first Tamil horror film, it soon cuts to show Samuthirakani and his preparation for the film. Although Dulquer plays the lead role in Saantha, it is soon revealed that the director and actor-turned-superstar, who were once inseparable, had a fallout once and no longer interact with each other. Nonetheless, as the production begins, the rift between the two widens, owing to the extreme egos that they harbour. While we see Samuthirakani choking Dulquer Salmaan and throwing chairs at him, the youngster is also no saint. Leveraging his superstar status, he slowly starts taking over the film, calling all the shots, sidelining the actual director. At the end of the teaser, we see Dulquer's character changing the title of the film from Saantha to Kaantha, thus also effectively making a hero-centric movie and not the heroine-centric one the director had planned. The movie features Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead. Written and directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha is bankrolled jointly by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri and Jom Varghese under the banners of Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films. Kaantha features music by Jhanu Chanthar, cinematography by Dani Sanchez Lopez, editing by Llewellyn Anthony Gonsalvez and art direction by Ramalingam. The film will hit screens worldwide on September 12.
