Kantara2: Rishabh Shetty readying the prequel script

Rishabh Shetty's spiritual thriller Kantara created a sensation across the country. The film broke many records at the box office and even got shortlisted for the Oscars. Movie lovers are waiting eagerly for the outcome of the voting for the Oscar nominations which will be out on 24 January 2023.

In the meantime, for quite sometime, the talk of Kantara 2 excited all. According to the latest, Kantara 2 is getting a headstart. Rishabh Shetty is penning the script for the film's prequel and not the sequel. Vijay Kirangadur, head of Hombale Films who is bankrolling the project, speaking to scribes shared  "He plans to start shooting in June, as a portion of the shoot requires the rainy season, and our intention is to give the film a pan-India release in April or May next year."

Kantara 2 will become bigger and will be made with more budget. More renowned actors will be part of the prequel but the Kantara 2 premise will be similar to Kantara 1 and revolves around the folklore. Rishabh Shetty already is on his way to conduct research in the forests of the coastal region of Karnataka.
