Made on a Rs 125 crore budget, the film has broken multiple records, overtaking last month’s hit Su From So to become the highest-grossing Kannada film of the year. Directed and co-written by Rishab Shetty, it stars Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah. A prequel to the 2022 original, Kantara Chapter 1 blends history, myth, and high-octane action.
