As a long-time admirer of both Rishab Shetty and Mohanlal, I must say that the news about their potential collaboration in Kantara: Chapter 1 has me absolutely thrilled! Having grown up watching these two exceptional talents on screen, I can only imagine the magic they are going to weave together.


Right now, Rishab Shetty is busy with the production of his eagerly anticipated prequel movie titled Kantara: Chapter 1. It appears that the director has enlisted the services of esteemed actor Mohanlal to play a significant character in this upcoming film.

According to a recent statement from movie enthusiast Laxmi Kanth, it’s rumored that the upcoming film may cast the superstar in the role of Rishab Shetty’s father. This speculation has not been officially verified by the filmmakers yet and is currently generating excitement among fans.

One intriguing way of rephrasing: In India, the first chapter of Kantara is generating tremendous excitement, and with Mohanlal involved, it promises to be an extraordinary spectacle. Remarkably, Rishab Shetty and his wife Pragathi recently had a chance encounter with the legendary actor in April, as they posted some memorable photos together online.

People have been eagerly waiting for this upcoming movie since its announcement, and the excitement has only grown. The creators unveiled the title and revealed that Rishab will portray a threatening character in a historical setting, as hinted by the trailer.

The upcoming film, rumored to be a prequel to the original release, is expected to delve into the mythology of the Panchurli Deiva, taking place during the Kadamba era. This production, helmed by Rishab as director, welcomes back Ajaneesh Loknath in his role as music director, who previously composed enigmatic scores and tracks for the prior installment.

In late 2024 or early 2025, it’s expected that Kantara: Chapter 1 will debut in cinemas, and it has already been acquired by Amazon Prime Video for viewing after its theatrical release. The initial film, titled Kantara, was helmed by an actor and centered around Shiva, a character who confronts a principled forest officer. Notably, the movie garnered attention for its engrossing storytelling, stunning visuals, and captivating mythological elements.

Instead, Mohanlal will soon take on the leading part in the movie Barroz, which also serves as his directorial debut. Notably, he’s also currently working on the films L2: Empuraan and a project provisionally named L360.
