Rishab Shetty acted and directed film, Kantara, took the country by surprise. It introduced the folk culture of Bhoota Kola followed by the Tulu community in the South of India. The film was critically acclaimed and commercially successful. Owing to the success and acclaim received by the original Kannada version, the makers decided to release it in Hindi a couple of days later. 


After the humongous success of Kantara, Hombale Films gave a green signal to the franchise. Tentatively titled Kantara 2, it will be a prequel. Now, there's an exciting update on it. 


Kantara 2 will be going on floors with the muhurat pooja on November 27. A grand and massive set is being constructed for the period drama, where Rishab, producer Vijay Kiragandur, and the other cast and crew will be present. Following the muhurat pooja, the makers will kick off the principal photography for the film in December. The rest of the cast will be announced soon. 


As Kantara completed 100 days in theatres, Rishab said at the celebration, "We are very pleased and thankful to the audience who had shown immense love and support to Kantara and taking the journey ahead, with the blessing of almighty Daiva the film has successfully completed 100 days and I would like to take this opportunity to announce the prequel of Kantara. What you have seen is actually Part 2, Part 1 will come next year. The idea has been flashed into my mind while I was shooting for Kantara because the history of Kantara has more depth to it, and currently, if the writing part is concerned we are in the middle of digging into more details. As the research is still progressing, it would be very early to reveal details about the film."

Vijay Kiragandur shared at the event, "Kantara introduced the audience to a new cinema altogether and we would love to sustain and in fact boost the rage that the film has created among the audience on the screens by announcing the sequel, as the film has now completed its 100 days. Rishab and our team have been working on the story rigorously as the film has many more things to tell to the audience while opening the back story of Kantara and we can just guarantee that the sequel of Kantara is going to be more massive and grand than before."

Kantara also starred Achyuth Kumar, Kishore, and Sapthami Gowda. It released on September 30, 2022.
