Kantara Chapter 1 has taken the cinematic landscape by storm, setting a new benchmark in Indian storytelling and visual brilliance. With its grand scale, rooted narrative, and emotionally powerful performances, the film has captured audiences across the country and beyond. At the heart of this phenomenon stands Rishab Shetty, whose outstanding performance as Daiva Guliga has not only mesmerized viewers but also cemented his stature as one of the most compelling storytellers in Indian cinema today.

At a recent event celebrating the film’s historic success, Rishab spoke about its journey and impact. He said, “From the last part to this one, we've visually expanded the film.

My energy has been transferred to the public.” His words echoed the deep cultural roots and vision that have made the film a national sensation.
