The actor-filmmaker reportedly described the storyline of 'Kantara' as "highly inspiring".
Kannada film ‘Kantara’ is one of the most talked-about films of the year. Helmed by actor-director Rishab Shetty ( who also starred in the movie) this action thriller has been one of the biggest hits at the box office. It has minted Rs 370 crore worldwide. The Hindi version is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore benchmark soon. Aside from being a smash hit at the box office, the movie has also gathered rave reviews for its rooted storyline and power-packed performances from the cast. Apart from being a darling with the movie critics, the film has also been praised by the who’s who of the film fraternity. From superstar Rajinikanth to Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut, many bigwigs of showbiz took to social media to gush about the movie. Actor-director Kamal Haasan is the latest addition to the ‘Kantara’ fan club.
The ‘Chachi 420’ star reportedly personally called Shetty to praise the movie. According to a Times of India report, the ‘Nayakan’ actor was very impressed by the story of the film and called it “highly inspiring’’.
Set in coastal Karnataka, Kantara explores the themes of conflict between man and Nature. Local traditions and folklore are also integral to the plot. The story revolves around a regional dance called Bhoota Kola. Shetty essays the role of Shiva, a bull-tamer and Kambala athlete Kaadubettu Shiva as well as his father. Shetty told India Today, “ 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.” The movie also stars Sapthami Gowda, Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Pramod Shetty, Prakash Tuminad, Naveen D Padil, and others in key roles.
The movie is all set to make its OTT debut. The movie will premiere on Amazon Prime on November 24.
