After showering immense praise and love for Kantara on social media, veteran actor Kamal Haasan has written a formal appreciation letter to Rishabh Shetty on the success of the Kannada film. On Friday, Rishabh Shetty shared a picture of the framed letter on his Instagram account and thanked Haasan for his “lovely message”.

In the framed letter, Haasan wrote, “A film like Kantara lives and blossoms in your mind. I am an atheist, yet I understand the need for one in most. I truly believe that the gods depicted in most of our mythology lack compassion. We Dravidians are a matrilineal society. This is seen in the final scene of your film, where God behaves like a mother instead of the testosterone father he started out with.”
Haasan further referred to the Rishabh Shetty film as a classic, saying, “I know you couldn’t have watched MT Vasudevan Nair’s film called Nirmalyam. Your film has shades of that classic. Your cinematic DNA has many There are ancestors you may not know about, but remember that the cinematic language you speak comes from them.
