A Thrilling Storyline

Set in the fictional village of Kantara and its surrounding forests in Karnataka, ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ unfolds a gripping tale of faith, power, and rebellion. The villagers believe they are protected by divine forces, but their peace is disrupted when a greedy king and his son, Kulasekhara, attempt to seize their sacred land. As oppression grows, tribal leader Varma (played by Rishab Shetty) rises to defend his people using his courage, wisdom, and traditional rituals. The climax — a powerful Gulika ritual that leads to Kulasekhara’s death — leaves the audience spellbound.

Serving as a prequel to the 2022 hit ‘Kantara’, this film celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Kannada cinema. Written, directed, and led by Rishab Shetty, it has been produced by Vijay Kiragandur and Chaluve Gowda under the Hombale Films banner. The film has been released in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English.

According to Sacnilk reports, ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ collected ₹22 crore on its 9th day at the box office, taking its total collection to ₹359.40 crore — marking yet another massive success for Rishab Shetty and the Kantara legacy.
