Rishab
Shetty
is
currently
basking
in
the
glorious
success
of
his
film
Kantara.
It
must
be
noted
that
the
actor-director-writer’s
sleeper
hit
has
grossed
close
to
Rs
400
crores
worldwide.
The
movie’s
unprecedented
success
has
resulted
in
a
lot
of
speculation
about
its
sequel.
Even
though
Rishab
hasn't
made
any
official
statements
about
his
future
plans,
a
"Daiva
Nartaka" has
revealed
that
Kantara
2
is
indeed
in
the
works.
According
to
the
'Daiva
Nartaka’,
Umesh
Gandhakadu,
Shetty
prayed
for
guidance
from
the
local
deity
before
beginning
work
on
Kantara’s
sequel.
He
also
told
IANS
that
god
has
given
his
approval
for
the
project.
The
“Daiva
Nartaka”
was
quoted
as
saying,
"We
were
asked
to
perform
Panjurli
(a
local
deity)
seva
in
Mangalore
by
Rishab
Shetty.
I
provided
service
at
the
Madivalabettu
temple
in
Bandale." It
must
be
noted
that
the
local
god
speaks
instead
of
Gandhakadu
when
it
transforms
into
a
"Daiva
Nartaka.”
As
a
result,
he
was
unable
to
provide
any
more
details.
The
report
further
stated
that
the
sequel’s
request
was
made
by
Gandhakadu
while
he
was
in
his
"Daiva
Nartaka" form
and
the
god
granted
his
blessings
on
the
condition
that
they
make
the
sequel
with
great
care.
Rishab
has
also
been
instructed
by
the
god
to
pray
to
Annappa
Panjurli
besides
meeting
with
the
pilgrimage
center's
caretaker,
Dr.
Veerendra
Hegde,
a
BJP
Rajya
Sabha
member.
Besides
Rishabh
Shetty,
Kantara
also
stars
Kishore
Kumar
G,
Sapthami
Gowda,
Achyuth
Kumar,
and
Pramod
Shetty
in
pivotal
roles.
The
movie
was
made
available
to
stream
in
Kannada,
Malayalam,
Tamil,
and
Telugu
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
on
November
23.
Meanwhile,
its
English
and
Hindi
dubs
started
streaming
on
Netflix
on
December
9.
