Kantara 2 is a prequel to Rishab Shetty’s blockbuster Kantara which will explore the origins of various cultural practices that were showcased in the first part. Initially, the film was planned to start the shoot this month and release by 2024 summer. Now the shooting plan is said to be postponed to August / September as the team is taking time to finalize the script, cast, and crew as they have a huge market and need to deliver the best.
Earlier this year, Hombale Films founder Vijay Kirgandur, in an interaction with the media, revealed that Rishab Shetty has already started working on the script. The first portion of the film requires shooting during rain and that is why the monsoon season has been selected as the shoot time.
Rishab Shetty himself visited the forests in the coastal region in Karnataka for a two-month recce to understand more about the folklore which he has shown in his film Kantara. This movie will also be a pan-India film and the makers are confident that the audience will be equally hooked on it.
Kantara was first released in Kannada as a small film and when it became a massive success, they released it in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu. This film is an action-thriller that is rooted in Karnataka folklore and is written and directed by Rishab Shetty himself. Kantara also starred Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda, and Pramod Shetty in pivotal roles.
