Divine Star Rishab Shetty became emotional while speaking about this. "I almost lost my life 4-5 times, but the divine power saved me," he said. This was due to the relentless effort he put in over three years for Kantara Chapter 1. During this period, he relocated to Kundapura with his wife and children, cutting off external connections.
Speaking for the first time after three years at the film’s pre-release event, Rishab revealed that he faced life-threatening dangers 5-6 times during the making of Kantara Chapter 1. However, he firmly believes he was saved by divine power.
"The entire Kantara Chapter 1 was made while facing numerous risks. From Kantara to Kantara Chapter 1, I worked for about five years," he said. Similar to the previous Kantara film, which was shot in live locations, this film also involved immense challenges. Especially during real stunt sequences, his life was at risk.Levi's Men's 505 Straight Fit Mid Rise Jeans
Kantara Chapter 1 revolves around the conflict between man and nature, continuing the same philosophy as the original Kantara. "I have brought a legend I heard into this film. We conducted thorough research with professors and subject experts," Rishab said. He urged the audience to watch the film to fully understand its story.
"We shot Kantara Chapter 1 entirely in live locations, not on sets. During this time, we faced many hardships. In those tough moments, the divine power protected us," Rishab Shetty said. His wife, Pragathi Shetty, also agreed with this sentiment.Comedian La. Rakesh Shetty in the 'Kantara Chapter 1' Trailer... Do You Know What Role He Appeared In?
Rishab Shetty clarified that the Kannada film industry cannot be saved by one person alone. Good stories and good films are needed. "The film industry has seen many changes. We need to work according to current demands and make films that people like," he emphasized. He believes that only with new ideas and new talent will the Kannada film industry thrive.
