Rishab Shetty’s Kantara has received overwhelming reviews from the audience. The movie has performed brilliantly at the box office across India. Directed and written by Rishab Shetty, Kantara grossed over Rs 200 crore at the box office globally. The electrifying results of Kantara have cast a gloomy shadow on the upcoming Kannada projects. Banaras and Dil Pasand will hit the theatres on November 4 and November 11 respectively.
President of the Producers Association Umesh Bankar said, “Kannada film producers are afraid to release their films. It doesn’t look like Kantara fever is over yet. Most of the producers who noticed this are thinking of releasing their films later.” He also added that the audience is watching Kantara again and again similar to Puneeth Rajkumar’s movies.
