About Kantara Chapter 1

Kantara Chapter 1 is set a thousand years before the events of the first film. It chronicles the clash between the jungle village of Kantara and the neighbouring kingdom of Kadamba. Berme (Rishab Shetty), a warrior from Kantara, goes up against Kulasekhara (Gulshan Devaiah), who tries to exploit and rule their land. The film ends with the promise of Kantara Chapter 2. Apart from Rishab in the lead, the film also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, and Gulshan Devaiah. The original Kantara was a sleeper hit, earning over ₹400 crore worldwide on a ₹15 crore budget.
