Following the spectacular success of Kantara, which found a deep resonance with moviegoers all over India in its spiritual narration and cultural depth, the wait for its prequel has been gaining momentum steadily. The movie not only turned into a pan-India hit but also received a distinguished National Award — a clear testament to its reach.
And now, director and star Rishab Shetty returns with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, a highly anticipated prequel that plunges deeper into the mythos and history of the first story. The filmmakers have officially confirmed that they have wrapped shooting, and to celebrate this achievement, they’ve dropped a spine-chilling making video.
The video provides a cinematic look into the making of the film — ranging from breathtaking shots to large sets and rigorous preparations. Rishab Shetty’s voiceover in the video highlights the emotional significance of the project as he states, “Kantara is not just cinema, it’s our legacy.” His dedication and passion are evidently evident in each frame.
Supported by Hombale Films, which has given us such huge blockbusters as KGF and Salaar, Kantara: Chapter 1 is produced on a large scale. The prequel will be released in theaters across the globe on October 2, 2025, and promises another cinematic treat that is a mix of folklore, faith, and drama.
With fans going wild to revisit the magical world of Kantara, this chapter is turning out to be another box-office storm and a cultural fest.
