New Delhi: After the massive box-office success of the first part of Kantara in pan India, the director of the movie has something extra special for all Kantara lovers and moviegoers.
The second portion of the movie, which would be a prequel, was revealed by writer-director-actor Rishab Shetty upon the completion of Kantara’s illustrious 100 runs at the box office. At a recent event, Rishab Shetty took the opportunity to announce the second part of Kantara. According to him, the second part of the movie will actually be a prequel to the first instead of a sequel.
Shetty further mentioned that he is currently working on its research part, therefore it would not be possible to share any other details of the movie. However, the movie would premiere most probably next year and Rishab Shetty with his team have planned accordingly.
With revenues of Rs 400 crore, Kantara, which debuted last year, became a worldwide hit.
Given that Kantara 2 is a prequel, viewers can undoubtedly anticipate learning more about Bhoota Kola and other customs, rites, and enigmatic components of folklore.
The tale Kantara, which means “mystical forest,” relates the tale of a local demigod named Bhoota who, in 1870, bargains with a king to give the tribe’s members forest land in return for bliss. Years later, the king’s son is killed by Bhoota after becoming envious and demanding the nation back.
The Bhoota Kola festival, one of Kantara’s main attractions, was masterfully reenacted in the movie, which was inspired by Panjurli Daiva’s divinity.
