Rishab Shetty marked four years of his Kannada film Kantara on Wednesday, 30 September, with a social media post thanking audiences and the cast and crew. The actor-director, who also wrote and headlined the film, said the love from viewers remained unmatched and that the film was ‘never just a film I made’ but a world he lived in.
Released in 2022, Kantara was made on a budget of Rs 16 crore and collected over Rs 400 crore worldwide. It won Rishab the National Film Award for Best Actor and the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, besides a Special Jury Award at IFFI. Rishab said the response from audiences remained the most special part of the experience.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Mathrubhumi and Cinema Express report the same event, Rishab Shetty’s anniversary post for Kantara, with near-identical facts: the four-year milestone, the Rs 400-crore worldwide collection, and the National Award wins. Neither outlet adopts a critical or political framing, each sticks to straight coverage of the actor’s gratitude post and the film’s achievements. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting. The next milestone to watch is any announcement about a Kantara sequel, which neither source mentions.
