At the Telugu pre-release event for Kantara Chapter 1, held on September 28, 2025, actor NTR delivered a heartfelt speech that resonated with fans and film lovers alike. Speaking on stage, NTR expressed deep admiration for Rishab Shetty’s dedication and storytelling, calling Kantara a film that transcends language and connects with audiences on a spiritual level.
The actor recalled how his grandmother narrated him stories of Kundapur, which sparked his childhood curiosity. “I never imagined that the stories I grew up hearing would one day be brought to life on screen. Rishab left me speechless when I saw those same stories unfold in Kantara: Chapter 1,” he said.
He praised Rishab Shetty not just as an actor but as a visionary filmmaker who brought Indian folklore and rooted traditions to the big screen with authenticity and passion. NTR highlighted how Kantara Chapter 1 promises to be even more intense and immersive than the first part, which was a massive success across multiple languages.
NTR also emphasized the importance of supporting good cinema, regardless of language or region. He encouraged Telugu audiences to embrace Kantara Chapter 1 with the same love they showed for the original, reinforcing the idea that storytelling is universal.
His warm words and enthusiastic support added star power to the event and helped bridge cultural appreciation between Kannada and Telugu audiences.
The original 'Kantara' (2022) became a huge box office blockbuster, along with winning critical acclaim, as Rishab got a national award for his performance. Now, Kantara: Chapter 1 goes back to pre-colonial Karnataka, exploring the origins of the sacred Bhuta Kola ritual. BAjaneesh Loknath scores the music, and Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, Jayaram, and Rakesh Poojari appear in crucial roles.
