Kantara’s Mass Appeal | Rishab Shetty Interview | Rishabh Shetty | Kantara | India Today
In an exclusive conversation, ‘Kantara’ creator Rishab Shetty and actress Rukmini Vasanth discuss the film’s journey and widespread success. The discussion highlights how the Kannada movie, deeply rooted in regional folklore, including Daivas and Bhutakola rituals, evolved into a pan-India phenomenon driven by word-of-mouth. Shetty reveals the film’s origin, conceived during the second lockdown and inspired by a 1990s hunting accident involving man-animal conflict. He details the unique filmmaking process, which involved relocating to his village and engaging the local community, effectively establishing a ‘film village’. The conversation also addresses the challenges of authentically depicting folk traditions and belief systems without exaggeration, alongside the central theme of man versus nature. Shetty emphasizes that the record-breaking achievement belongs to the viewers, stating the success is the audience’s. The actors further touch upon the physical demands of shooting in deep jungles and how the film’s authentic storytelling resonated globally, breaking language barriers. #kantara #rishabhshetty #rukminivasanth #itwebvideos #indiancinema #kannadacinema #folklore #tradition #wordofmouth #filmmaking #manvsnature #panindiafilm #bhutakola #daiva #kantarasuccess #culturalroots #filminterview #behindthescenes #rukmini #themakingofkantara #bollywood #storytelling #panindia #jaihanuman
