Kantara Chapter 1 The Telugu pre-release event happened today in Hyderabad, with NTR gracing the event. The Devara actor and the film’s unit spoke about the movie well, but the event created a massive controversy regarding the language because of Rishab Shetty’s speech.
Recently, several incidents have gone viral on social media highlighting how the language issue is becoming a political matter in Karnataka. Some Kannada activists caused a commotion at a theater screening Pawan Kalyan’s OG and created a significant disturbance.
In the Telugu pre-release event of Kantara Chapter 1, Rishab Shetty spoke in the Kannada language, which sparked a lot of backlash and criticism from Telugu audiences online.
Netizens are complaining that the actor-director spoke in Kannada at the Kannada event and in Tamil at the Tamil version’s event.
For the Hindi promotions, he spoke in Hindi, but at the Telugu event, he chose to speak in Kannada. We’ll have to wait and see how the makers or Rishab respond to this controversy.
