Kantara, A Cultural Phenomenon
Released in 2022, Kantara quickly captured attention with its compelling story and exceptional performances. Written and directed by Rishab Shetty, who also stars in the film, Kantara intricately weaves themes of tradition, nature, and human conflict. The story revolves around Kaadubettu Shiva, a Kambala champion, who finds himself at odds with an upright forest officer, Murali, played by Kishore. The narrative is enriched by strong performances from a talented ensemble cast, including Sapthami Gowda and Achyuth Kumar.
