Real reason for Kaantha to back out from September 12 date is Mirai of Teja and week later of Pawan Kalyan’s OG. DQ however put the postponement as a generous gesture to Lokah as he did not want to interrupt its BO as he is the producer of both films. DQ wise decision to not have any ego issues and go for a withdrawal is wise.
Kaantha
based on MKT the Late Kollywood hero will face comparison from a web series to
be streamed from Sony LIV on same subject. While Dulquer heads Kaantha, The wen
series Madras Mystery has Nazirya in the lead. Sony LIV describes it as The
Madras Mystery – Fall of a Superstar: A historical crime drama
featuring Nazriya Fahadh, centred on the rise and fall of a cinema superstar. Th
It will be directed by Sooriyaprathap, and stars actors Nazriya Nazim, Natty,
Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, Nasser, YG Mahendran. It is to be noted that Nazriya is
back to Tamil after a really long time and will be making her Tamil OTT debut
with The Madras Mystery. Set against the backdrop of 1940s, the scandal-driven
period thriller is set to be revolving around the infamous murder of
Lakshmikanthan and the trial which involved M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and N.
S. Krishnan as suspects.
Though officially Kaantha has ben postponed to give Lokah a free run, the real reason is that Mirai of Teja carries pre release reports that say that a blockbuster is on the way. Tollywood is waiting for BO of Mirai. Earlu reviews have give a big thumbs up. Telugucinema review ; “Mirai” succeeds as a visual spectacle. For audiences seeking a fresh take on blending mythology, fantasy, and superhero elements, it delivers enough entertainment. While not without flaws, particularly its predictable sequences and a noticeable dip in the second half, the film scores with impressive VFX, a devotional touch, and a well-balanced mix of elements. Overall, it makes for a good watch in theatres.
Theatrical. Pawn Kalyan’s OG is scheduled to release worldwide on 25
September 2025 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi languages. If
Kaantha released on September 12, it would have been caught between two most
awaited Telugu films. Lokah is adding numbers in Kerala mostly and a DQ film
will not be a competitor but in Telugu States it will get swallowed by two
biggies.
Teja Sajja and Karthik Gattamneni’s Mirai has been
released in theatres worldwide amidst positive buzz, and the response to
the film is superb. While the adventurous film is going great at
the box office, fans observe that the songs have been removed from Mirai.
