Finally, the much-awaited prequel - or should we say sequel - of the 2022 mega-hit Kantara, titled Kantara: Chapter 1, is nearly here.

Come October 2, when Dussehra/Vijaya Dashami meets Gandhi Jayanti, Rishab Shetty's action-thriller will hit the screens, much to cine-lovers' delight.

From the just-dropped trailer, it seems Shetty has picked up from where he left off in Kantara, blending action, folklore, and mysticism into a powerful visual storytelling, venturing deeper into the origins of Bhuta Kola, the ritual at the foundation of the 2022 film.

Kantara: Chapter 1 has also been directed by Rishab Shetty and stars him besides Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah. B Ajaneesh Loknath returns as the composer of both the soundtrack and the background score, while Arvind Kashyap's cinematography looks impressive in the trailer.

How the crisis-ridden Kannada film industry is pinning its hopes on Kantara: Chapter 1

Hombale Films got the trailer launched in multiple languages, simultaneously - by Prabhas for Telugu, Sivakarthikeyan for Tamil, Prithviraj Sukumaran for Malayalam, and Hrithik Roshan for Hindi. So, if you liked Kantara, plan your date with the prequel - or sequel - right now!
