Rishab Shetty’s Kannada film Kantara, which he also wrote and directed, has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and viewers. Vijay Kirgandur of Hombale Films, who funded Yash’s KGF series, is the movie’s producer.
Kantara was only briefly available in other states. However, thanks to positive publicity, the shows have become more popular everywhere. On October 14, the Hindi version will be made available.
The movie initially did reach enough theatres in Tamil Nadu since it competed with Mani Ratnam’s powerful Ponniyin Selvan.
Vikram Vedha, starring Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan, was made available in Hindi. Due to its stellar cast, the film gained a lot more traction as well.
Nevertheless, Kantara is receiving a lot of affection from viewers. Theaters are allocating extra screens for Kantara as a result of a favourable buzz and rising demand.
Aside from the obviously incredible visuals, acting, and cinematography, some of South India’s biggest names have been endorsing the film.
One of the first few prominent celebrities to compliment the movie was Kichcha Sudeep. He mentioned: “We do witness films that are good and fantastic. But rarely do we come across one that leaves us speechless.
KAANTHARA

He also added “Kantara is one such film that left a huge impact on me Fantabulous performance by Rishab Shetty, which leaves no stone unturned kudos to the entire team to have faith in a plot like this Hats off Ajaneesh you are indeed a master. Congrats Hombale Films and thank you for believing in something and standing up for it.”
