Kantara 2: Rishab Shetty Says A Huge Set Has Been Put Up In His Village, Team To Shoot There In April – News18

Following the massive success of Salaar, Hombale Films is ready to take the masses on the divine journey with the prequel ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’. Helmed and headlined by Rishab Shetty, it is one of the most-awaited movies of the year. While everyone is eagerly waiting for the film, the filmmaker announced at the film at Amazon Prime Video’s event in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Speaking to Varun Dhawan and the media, Rishab said, “Humare gaon ka jo ek kahaani aur folklore leke aana chahiye bade screen pe – yeh ek dream tha. When I was in my second year of college toh uss samay yeh kahani tha dimaag mein – mann mein . When I became a filmmaker, ek screenplay jaisa construct kiya. Shoot karne se pehle humara plan tha ki prequel ja raha hai. So, baad mein, jo logo ne, darshako ne itna bada support diya hai. Humare gaon mein bada set lagaya hai abhi. Next mahine hum log shoot jaa rahe hai (I started my acting career from here, which I performed when I was in the 6th standard. Our village’s story and folklore should be brought to the big screen. When I was in my second year of college, this story was in my mind. When I became a filmmaker, I constructed a screenplay properly. Before shooting, our plan was that a prequel is going to happen. We also got a huge support from the audience. We have set up a big set in our village now. We will be shooting there next month).

Meanwhile, an insider has recently shared that Kantara: Chapter 1 will revolve around the story of Panjurli Daiva and Guliga Daiva. “The film draws the inspiration from ancient times and tells the story about the origin of Panjurli Daiva and Guliga Daiva divinities and also throws light on their origin,” the source said.
