With movies like the KGF series and Kantara, Kannada cinema established a pan-Indian momentum. Now, with the sequel to its 2022 Kannada action thriller film Kantara, starring Rishab Shetty, it is once more poised to wow viewers. Despite our earlier report that a prequel for the picture, called Kantara Chapter 1, is in the works, the filmmakers released a fresh theatrical poster on Monday that reaffirmed the previously announced release date. Kantara Chapter 1 is geared up to premiere in theaters on October 2, for Gandhi Jayanthi, and here’s the view at the latest poster made available.

The new poster for Kantara Chapter 1 is now available

Koduge: Ramanna Rai, Rishab Shetty created and directed Kantara in 2022, after having directed films such as Ricky, Kirik Party, and Sa.Hi.Pra.Shaale Kasaragodu. Additionally, he played the lead role in the film, which went on to be a hit across India and won Rishab the National Film Award for Best Actor.

The second chapter of the fantasy action thriller, which will actually be the prequel, was revealed by the producers of Kantara soon after the film's triumph. The movie, which has the title Kantara Chapter 1, will be released on October 2. On Monday, a fresh poster was unveiled that portrays Rishab in a ferocious light, depicting him carrying an axe in one hand and a shield that has been pierced by several arrows. The poster for Kantara Chapter 1 provides us an indication that the movie will be a lot more action-packed, as Rishab yells through with visible scars everywhere.

Apart from that, what else do we know about chapter one of Kantara?

Vijay Kiragandur, under the banner of Hombale Films, will produce Kantara Chapter 1, with Rishab Shetty resuming his role as director. On October 2, the movie will be available in English, Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and other languages.

Despite the high expectations surrounding the project, Kantara Chapter 1 is also full of debate. The movie's sets have thus far seen three fatalities, all of which were oddly caused by 33-year-olds. They were all young performers.
