Kantara has been beaming with success and has emerged as the highest IMDb rated film surpassing mega hits like KGF Chapter 2, Brahmastra, Pushpa: The Rise and Vikrant Rona. The movie strives to bridge the contemporary hustle work with commercial cinema with a theme so grounded and profound.
Kantara, directed by Rishab Shetty is triumphing in the world cinema. In a recent interview with Times Now, the director talked about his role as a local demigod in the movie.
“When I started shooting for Kantara, I did not think so much. But, by the time we were nearing the end of the shoot, playing the character became extremely difficult. I received a lot of injuries while doing the action scenes, but I could not stop until I had finished the film”, said Rishab.
“We shot for the scene for 4- 5 nights and I survived just by drinking coconut water. We respect these traditions of ours and I felt I should honour them while performing the act. It was almost like a vrat for me, he added.”
When asked about that how did it feel to perform the divine dance? Rishab briskly responded, “Woh ek experience hai. Mera experience. (It is an experience, my experience). I do not want to share it. It will remain inside me as a spiritual journey. It felt like there was a beautiful energy inside me.”
Interestingly, the actor penned down the character keeping in mind that he will have to be in the garb of the same. The former also revealed that since childhood he wanted to act in films and be bring alive something unique on screen.
