New Delhi, Oct 13 (UNI) As 'Kantara: Chapter 1' continues its successful theatrical run, actor-director Rishab Shetty offered fans a powerful behind-the-scenes look into the making of the film's gripping climax.
Taking to Instagram today, Shetty shared a series of unseen photos from the shoot, revealing that he filmed the intense final sequence while battling a swollen leg and extreme exhaustion.
In his heartfelt post, Shetty opened up about the physical toll the shoot took on him, saying he pushed through the pain, driven by sheer will and faith.
Reflecting further on the moment, Shetty added, “This was during the climax shoot, a swollen leg, an exhausted body… but today, the climax has become something millions admire. It’s all thanks to the divine blessings and your love. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us.”
‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ delves into the origins of Daiva worship in Tulunadu, tracing its spiritual and cultural roots back to the fourth-century Kadamba dynasty. Rishab Shetty plays Berme, the fierce protector of the Kantara forest and its indigenous people.
