RISHAB SHETTY ON KANTARA

About the film, Rishab told IndiaToday.in, “Kantara starts in the 18th century and moves to the 19th century. It is like folklore, which is passed on from generation to generation. I wanted to tell this story via folklore. I feel Indian sentiments resonate well in the country; hence rooted stories work well. To watch a dance number, or fight, there are a lot of platforms with similar stories. There is nothing new in that. There is an audience for commercial films with mass elements and entertainment but there is an override of that now. Today, people want rooted stories. People relate to it, their upbringing and till the time that connects, more stories like Kantara will work.”

Kantara is likely to premiere next week on November 24, 2022, on Amazon Prime Video.
