‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ Explores Faith and Nature, Says Rishab Shetty After Massive Box Office Success

The Kannada movie "Kantara: Chapter 1" was a subject of discussion ever since its release. While it hit the theaters on October 2nd, the movie not only crossed the ₹600 crore barrier at the box office but also made a strong impression on the hearts of the people. Now, the producer, director, and actor of the movie, Rishabh Shetty, has expressed his views and experiences regarding the movie.

Recently, while discussing the film, Rishabh Shetty stated that "Kantara: Chapter 1" is not a part of any political ideology or propaganda. The story is based on faith, belief, and a human connection to nature. He said, "I didn't tie this film to any ideology; I simply wanted to tell a story that awakens inner feelings within humans. It's a story rooted in our folklore and the soul of Indianness."

The film contains many deep symbols of faith and spirituality. Rishabh Shetty explained that for him, spirituality is not a spectacle, but a part of life. He said, "My mother worships a lot, and this tradition has become a way of life for our family. When I start shooting, I begin by worshipping the camera. This isn't just a ritual, but a symbol of our faith." He believes that just as a person enters a temple and has a spiritual dialogue with God, the film "Kantara: Chapter 1" offers an experience to the audience—it's up to the audience to decide how they perceive it.
