About the Movie Teaser
The teaser, 2 minutes and 14 seconds long, offers a glimpse into the life of the legendary actor M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar. The teaser shows the intense relationship between the filmmaker “Ayya,” played by Samuthirakani, and “Chandran,” a superstar, played by Dulquer. It is set around the making of a film titled ‘Saantha,’ which is based on women by Ayya, but gradually transforms into ‘Kaantha’ by Chandran, who alters it. There is an egoistic dynamic between them, and they don’t talk to each other due to their past and broken trust. Dulquer Salmaan is seen in a vintage look, portraying Bhagavathar’s persona.
