National Award winner Rishab Shetty is all set to bring the much-awaited movie Kantara Chapter 1, and it seems everything will happen soon. In an exclusive update, Pinkvilla has learned that the makers of the film are set to begin the movie’s 4th scheduled shoot from August last week onwards.
As per the sources, we have also learned that the upcoming shoot will include a massive action sequence, which will be done on a grand scale. As the film is inching closer to completion, it would be truly spectacular to see what Rishab Shetty has managed to cook up next with his hit franchise.
The highly-anticipated movie has already been making quite the buzz ever since it was initially announced. The makers of the film had announced the upcoming sequel with a title reveal that featured Rishab in a menacing avatar, set in a period background.
The film is touted to be a prequel to the first installment and would likely follow the lore of the Panchurli Deiva, which is set in the Kadamba era. The movie, which also has Rishab as the director, brings back Ajaneesh Loknath as the music director, who mesmerized everyone with his work in the first film.
The movie is expected to hit the big screens by late 2024, with the OTT giant Amazon Prime Video already confirmed that it will buy its streaming right post-release. Interestingly, Rishab Shetty had recently hit the headlines for his comments on Kannada cinema not getting enough offers from streaming companies.
In an interview with PTI, the National Award winner revealed that Kannada content is still not getting proper exposure from OTT platforms. The actor-director revealed that they still have to release their movies in festivals or get them directly onto YouTube. Moreover, the actor also expressed his awe at bagging the National Award this year with the movie Kantara.
The movie Kantara, which was released in 2022, attained significant prominence over its narration and the impeccable visuals it presented, along with spectacular mythical folklore. With its prequel on the way, it would be interesting to see what the film holds in the future.
