Rishab Shetty, the protagonist, and director, and Sapthami Gowda, who played the female lead opposite him, have shared the same message on their accounts.
Kantara movie has become a super hit in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi languages as well. The movie was released in the Kannada language first and after garnering reviews and appreciation, the movie was released in other languages.
The movie was able to garner the kind of footfalls it did because of positive word of mouth and without a publicity blitzkrieg backing it.
