The makers of Kantara: Chapter 1 have officially shut down rumours of any delays, confirming that the epic prequel will meet its release date of October 2. Hombale Films, the banner backing the movie, took to social media to announce the news, writing, “No doubts. No delays.” Rishab Shetty has reprised his role as both actor and director in the film, just as he did in the first instalment Kantara (2022). The team has promised that the movie will be a cinematic spectacle, featuring an “insane war sequence,” for which Rishab underwent a three-month training, in which he mastered the art of horse riding, Kalari and sword fighting. The movie is set during the reign of the Kadambas of Banavasi and also stars Jayaram, Kishore, and Jayasurya in key roles.
