To officially launch this highly anticipated collaboration, a puja ceremony was held in Hyderabad, organized by Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media and Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films.

Celebrating With Tradition
The launch event for Kaantha was attended by several notable figures from the South Indian film industry. Rana Daggubati’s uncle, veteran actor Venkatesh Daggubati, performed the ceremonial clap, marking the start of the project. Venkatesh was joined by his wife Miheeka Bajaj and his father, Suresh Babu, who was also present at the event.
The ceremony had a traditional flair, with all attendees dressed in traditional attire.
