Kantara is getting a prequel! Rishab Shetty returns for Kantara: Chapter 1, hitting theaters on October 2, 2025.
Set during the Kadamba dynasty, the film dives into historical folklore and features an epic showdown between Shetty's warrior and a prince played by Gulshan Devaiah.

What to expect from the movie?

Shetty shared that fans' love for Kantara left him feeling "scared and overwhelmed," like facing a lion, but also happy due to the love he received.
The new movie will release in multiple languages with music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath.
Expect stunning visuals, mystical forests, ancient rituals, and intense moments—much like the original film that wowed audiences back in 2022.
