Bhoota Kola formed the base for the story of ‘Kantara’ and the team went to witness the tradition again. The performer also recreated a moment from the film. In the video shared by Homable Films, the song ‘Varaha Roopam’ plays in the background as the performer performs Bhoota Kola.

Directed by Rishab Shetty, ‘Kantara’ showed a story of a village near a forest which is believed to be protected by the Daiva. The film explores the themes of legends, belief, religion, nature and greed. The Kannada dramatic thriller starred Rishab, Achyuth Kumar, Pramod Shetty, Sapthami Gowda and Kishore Kumar G.

Made on a small budget, the film gained good word of mouth and was later dubbed into Tamil and Telugu. After gaining success in the southern states, the film entered the Hindi market and became an even bigger success. ‘Kantara’ earned more than Rs 400 crore globally.

Not only the audience and critics were in awe of the visual language of the film, but Thalaiva Rajnikanth gifted a gold chain to Rishab Shetty while superstar Kamal Haasan wrote a letter of appreciation to him.

It means a lot to receive such a lovely message from Legend of Indian Cinema. Too overwhelmed and awestruck to see this surprise gift from Kamal sir.?
