Real Plot of Kaantha ; Nothing to with Life Story Of MKTB

 Kaantha is about an ego clash between a Star and his Guru ,  The role that Dulquer plays is the unconfirmed lifestyle of MKTB. Read on:

The content of Kaantha is more about conflict between  M K Bhagavathar and a Director Ayya. The Actor character is said to be modelled on MMKT but giving it a filmic touch . Unlike MKT, the Actor in the film is suited booted and smokes imported cigars and leads a lavish lifestyle like gold plated plates and cups etc. The era is set in the MKT period. Contrary to popular belief, the film title Kaantha is not referring to Laxmikanthan but to film title that the Actor acts. In the story, the title is Shantaa and a woman centric film but the actor changes it to a hero oriented one and titles it Kaantha.

Basically, the film is an ego clash between a director and a lead actor. Director Ayya, played by Samuthirakani, was once a close friend of Chandran, played by Dulquer Salmaan. Ayya helped, motivated, trained, and believed in Chandran’s abilities when he was a nobody, and thus played a prominent role in Chandran’s later success. However, once Chandran became a prominent star, their relationship began to falter.

At this point, the first horror film in Tamil was set to begin production. The film, initially titled Shaantha, was a female-centric project in which Chandran was also cast. But differences between Ayya and Chandran spilled into the production. Chandran seemingly took over the director’s duties, sidelining Ayya and altering the plot in the process. Even the film’s title was changed to Kaantha. What will be the final outcome of this project? And what happens along the way?. In a recent interview, Dulquer confirmed that Kaantha is a fictional crime drama that is only partly inspired by M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar’s rise and fall, and it is not a proper or total biopic.

MKT grandson has told the court that his grandfather, a legendary actor and musician, disrespectfully. The movie portrays him as someone who lived with loose morals, became a pauper, destitute and sought alms. The movie further claims he died of indebtedness and penury.  In contrast to this portrayal, Thiagarajan emphasised that his grandfather was "a modest, devout, and simple man of great compassion and charitable disposition who remained a teetotaler and non-smoker throughout his life," according to Live Law. The grandson stated that till the time of his death, MK Thyagaraja Bhagavathar lived a dignified life with no economic crisis. He elaborated that even if the makers changed the name, people would be able to recognise him in the movie, damaging his late grandfather's image. The plea also seeks a permanent injunction restraining the filmmakers from depicting his grandfather as a man with loose morals.

The court has formally issued notices to the producers of the film, including Dulquer, demanding a detailed explanation concerning the situation at hand.
