The makers of Kantara: Chapter 1, the prequel to the sensational blockbuster Kantara (2022), released a new poster featuring Rishab Shetty on Monday (July 7), on the occasion of the actor-director’s 42nd birthday.
The promo features Rishab, in medieval clothing, charging out of what seems to be an inferno, wielding an axe and a shield.
Plot details of Kantara: Chapter 1 remain unknown at the moment. Revolving around a small community living in the woodlands of Kaadubettu, in the southern coastal state of Karnataka, Kantara told a magical realistic story on the human versus nature conflict, where death leads to war between villagers and evil forces and Shiva, a rebel defends his village and nature.
B Ajaneesh Loknath is returning to score the music of the prequel, along with cinematographer Arvind S Kashyap. The film is co-written by Anirudh Mahesh and Shanil Guru. Action director Todor Lazarov, who choreographed the stunt sequences for the Oscar-winning RRR, has been roped in for the prequel.
Produced by Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films, Kantara: Chapter 1 is set to be released in theatres on October 2. The film will be released in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali and English.
