New Delhi: Kantara, a Kannada box office smash of 2022, was both written and directed by actor Rishab Shetty. The film became a landmark. The film was successful in Karnataka; therefore, it was re-released in many languages and eventually became a national phenomenon in India.
Producers have finally unveiled the first image from the much-anticipated film Kantara Chapter 1 – a sequel of the film Kantara and it seems like it will be an intense and heavenly cinematic experience. Kantara Chapter 1, Hombale Films’ newest cinematic masterpiece, is poised to wow audiences once again, after the tremendous success of ‘Kantara: A Legend’ last year.
The initial glimpse is enigmatic and shadowy, and it shows Rishab standing beneath the fiery circle as he gazes toward a light.
Sharing the look on Twitter, Hombale Films wrote in the caption, “Step into the land of the divine 🔥

The well-known and recognisable sound that was heard in the original movie may be heard at the beginning of the teaser video shared.
At the beginning of the clip, the narrator can be heard saying, “Light. Everyone can see everything in light. But this is not light, this is vision. Vision of what has happened, what is happening and what is going to happen, the light that shows everything.”
Here in the teaser, we see Rishab Shetty in a surreal yet compelling light, and we get a taste of the universe he built for himself. Before being revealed in a new form, his character Shiva is seen gazing up at the moon. Intensely putting viewers in Shiva’s world, the teaser builds an atmosphere of tension and mystery.
Kantara Chapter 1 will be presented in seven languages, and the teaser finishes with a distinctive touch – seven different ragas of music showing those seven languages.
Witness the divine unfold! #KantaraChapter1 First Look Teaser hits 3 Million+ Views 🔥

About the Film – Kantara A Legend
With its folklore-based narrative that delved into the delicate link between humans and the environment, Kantara captivated viewers last year and swept the worldwide cinematic scene by storm.
An all-out war breaks out between a Kambala champion and a just-arrived forest ranger at the beginning of the film, exposing hidden truths about the lands. Numerous more performers, including Sapthami Gowda, Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, and Pramod Shetty, had significant parts in the film as well. Both audiences and reviewers loved the first movie, which became an enormous success.
Kantara Chapter 1 maintains Hombale Films’ tradition of redefining divinity via its pan-Indian cinematic experiences. There will be seven language releases of Kantara Chapter 1 next year.
In addition to starring in the film, Rishab Shetty wrote and directed it, while Vijay Kiragandur is producing it via his firm, Hombale Films.
At the tail end of December, filming is expected to begin. The movie’s cast is still not known, but the teaser promises an exciting adventure in a parallel universe.
