Ego is a funny thing, like a shadow that pops up even when you don’t notice it. That’s basically the heart of Rana Daggubati’s new movie, Kaantha. At the trailer launch in Hyderabad, questions came up about whether the film targeted anyone in the industry. Rana cleared the air immediately: it doesn’t. The story is about human ego, not gossip.

Rana explained that every person has a dark ego, and that’s what drives the story. The industry backdrop is just that, a backdrop. The real focus is on the push and pull between mentor and follower, and the emotional battles that unfold. He also made it clear that no real events or people were singled out; it’s all inspired by multiple incidents, mashed together for drama.

Dulquer Salman and Rana Daggubati play the lead roles, and from the trailer, it looks intense, with lots of emotions, conflicts, and period drama visuals. Fans now know they’re in for something about human struggles, not rumors or controversy.

Set to release on November 14, Kaantha is already buzzing. Rana’s words give fans context, showing it’s a universal story about ego and pride. With strong performances and a gripping narrative, it’s shaping up to be a film people will talk about long after the credits roll.
