**Revised Title:** 'Kantha' Sets a New Benchmark: Composer Hails Dulquer Salmaan as Tamil Cinema's Visionary Director **Revised Article:** Dulquer Salmaan's highly anticipated period drama 'Kantha' is all set to hit theaters on November 14. The film, set in 1950s Madras, also stars Bhagyashri Borse, Rana Daggubati, and Samuthirakani. Ahead of its release, music composer Jakes Bejoy has praised the film, calling it a game-changer in Tamil cinema. Jakes, who contributed to the background score, expressed his confidence in 'Kantha' setting a new benchmark for directors like Selvamani Selvaraj. "Selvamani Selvaraj has arrived, and boy, he's here to stay," Jakes said. "Tamil cinema has a new visionary director, and I'm honored to have been a part of this project." The film, which explores the strained relationship between a legendary Tamil director and a movie star, has received highly positive reviews from early press screenings. Rana and Samuthirakani had earlier praised Dulquer's performance in the film. In 'Kantha', Dulquer Salmaan plays the role of T.K. Mahadevan, while Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse, Rana Daggubati, and Ravindra Vijay star alongside him. The film will be released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, and is co-produced by Dulquer and Rana. Jakes also praised the film's soulful songs, composed by Jhanu Chanter, and expressed his gratitude for being a part of the project. "Wishing the entire cast and crew the very best for the release on the 14th. Don't miss this gem of a film," he said. With 'Kantha' set to hit theaters soon, it's clear that Dulquer Salmaan is on a roll, and this film is just the beginning of his journey as a visionary director in Tamil cinema.
