Ram
Gopal
Varma
must
have
seen
the
latest
industry-rocker
Kantara
recently,
and
he
has
been
all
praise
for
it
this
morning
(October
18).
The
director
took
to
Twitter
and
complimented
Rishab
Shetty,
who
has
written,
directed,
and
starred
in
the
film.
He
said
that
the
film
has
broken
the
myth
that
only
when
producers
invest
loads
of
money
a
film
can
become
a
commercial
blockbuster.
He
said
that
Kantara
would
be
a
major
lesson
for
filmmakers
of
the
forthcoming
decades.
He
compared
Rishab
Shetty
with
Lord
Shiva
and
said
that
he
is
going
to
give
nightmares
to
the
villains
of
the
film
industry
who
dump
crores
and
crores
into
their
films.
RGV
said
that
Kantara
collections
would
give
them
heart
attacks.
Here
are
the
exact
words
that
he
tweeted.
"The
@Shetty_Rishab
destroys
the
myth
in
film
people
that
only
mega
budget
films
will
pull
people
into
theatres
..
#Kantara
will
be
a
major
lesson
for
decades
to
come"
"In
the
film
industry
now
,
@Shetty_Rishab
is
like
a
Shiva
multiplied
by
Guliga
Daiva
and
the
villains
are
the
300
cr
,
400
cr
,
500
cr
budget
film
makers
who
are
being
killed
by
a
heart
attack
called
#Kantara
collections"
"Thanks
to
the
DEVIL
called
@shetty_rishab
all
big
budget
film
makers
will
now
suddenly
keep
waking
up
in
the
night
from
the
nightmare
collections
of
#Kantara
,Like
how
Shiva
keeps
waking
up
to
Guliga
Daiva"
Kantara
was
initially
planned
as
a
Kannada
release
alone,
but
the
reception
and
word
of
mouth
that
the
film
received
compelled
the
makers
to
work
on
releasing
Hindi,
Telugu,
Tamil,
and
Malayalam
versions
after
seeing
the
love
the
film
received
from
all
over
the
country.
