About The Kantara Franchise
Kantara created havoc at the box office as well as garnered critics' praise. In fact, Tamil superstar Rajinikanth called the core team of the film to congratulate them for having made a movie he described as a "masterpiece."
After shooting was wrapped, Rishab Shetty, in the glimpse video, said, "I have a dream. To tell the story of my land to the whole world. Our village. Our people. Our beliefs. When I chose to pursue that dream, thousands stood with me. Three years of hard work. Two hundred and fifty days of shoot. No matter the challenges I have faced, the faith never let go of me. My entire team, my producers, they were my backbone. Every day, as I looked out to the thousands who had gathered to work, one thought kept coming back to me. This is not just a film. This is a divine force. Welcome to the world of Kantara."
The new film has been directed by Rishab Shetty. He shares writing credits with Anirudh Mahesh and Shanil Guru.
The film stars Rishab Shetty, Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah in lead roles.
