New Delhi: ‘Kantara’, the Kannada film revolving around the culture of Kambla and Bhootha Kola, has made good numbers at the box office and is getting a positive review from the audience and critics. Rishab Shetty’s action-adventure film has received appreciation from the Indian film fraternity. The film stars Rishab Shetty, Sapthami Gowda, Kishore Kumar G, Achyuth Kumar, Pramod Shetty and others.
