About Kantara Chapter 1
Kantara Chapter 1 is the prequel to the 2022 hit Kantara and is set in pre-colonial Karnataka. The film stars Rishab, Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah and Jayaram in lead roles. It tells the story of a tribal man named Berme who fights against aristocracy. Talking to PTI about the film, Rishab claimed that he had no ‘ideology or agenda’ behind telling this story.
“As a storyteller, I always think, I should never be biased, and that we should tell stories to people, like about our folklore, Bharatiyata, and our belief system of nature worshipping. So by adding all these elements we made this story,” he said, adding, “Irrespective of all (political) parties and people, there is no ideology or agenda in this (film), we are just establishing this story, and people are liking and appreciating it.”
