Following the resounding success of last year's "Kantara: A Legend," Hombale Films is set to enthrall audiences once again with their latest cinematic masterpiece, "Kantara Chapter 1." The recently unveiled first look promises a captivating and transcendent cinematic experience.

Speculation is now mounting regarding Rishab Shetty's role in Kantara Chapter 1. Since the release of the teaser, fans and audiences have been astonished by the grand scale, presentation, and the remarkable transformation of director-actor Rishab Shetty. With various speculations circulating since the teaser's debut, there's growing anticipation that Rishab Shetty might portray the divine Lord Shiva in this highly anticipated sequel. Notably, Rishab's character in the first installment, 'Kantara,' is named Shiva, and given reports that the film is a prequel, the likelihood of witnessing Rishab Shetty as Lord Shiva is considerably high.

When questioned about the prospect of remaking ‘Kantara’ and selecting an actor to portray Shiva, Rishab Shetty expressed a strong reluctance. He candidly admitted being unable to fathom another actor stepping into the role, especially given his deep emotional connection to the Daiva Kola sequence. Rishab conveyed the complexity of this emotional and spiritual journey, emphasizing the necessity for belief. Reflecting on the cultural significance ingrained since childhood, he remarked, “I can’t even explain how I did it myself because it’s an emotional and spiritual journey. You have to believe in it. We have seen all this since we were kids.”
