Chennai: Tamil star Dhanush and Telugu star Prabhas are the latest to have showered praise on director Rishab Shetty's critically acclaimed Kannada film, Kantara. The film is scoring big at the box office and taking other markets by storm, the southern film industry continues its winning streak in the pan-India market. But what sets Kantara apart from other recent southern blockbusters like Pushpa or RRR, is its refreshing take on the age-old conflict between man and nature.

The film features Rishab Shetty and Sapthami Gowda in the lead and has been written and directed by Rishab Shetty himself. Produced by Vijay Kiragandur, Kantara has music by B Ajaneesh Loknath. After bringing in Kannada audiences in droves to theatres, Kantara is repeating its success story in other languages too. Rishab confessed that while he knew he had a winner on his hands, he definitely did not anticipate the scale of success it clocked.
The movie is also from the Hombale Films banner which has produced the hugely successful KGF series, starring Yash. After making his presence felt with interesting movies made on modest budgets, Rishab Shetty is happy that Kantara which was made on a relatively high budget has made its mark at the box office.
