Kantara: Chapter 1 is the prequel to the superhit Kantara. This film is set during the Kadamba dynasty in ancient coastal Karnataka, many centuries before the events of Kantara. It explores the origin of spiritual/mythological lore introduced in the original, especially around divine guardianship of the land and the rituals tied to Bhuta Kola (also called Daiva Kola / Bhoota Kola), including gods/deities like Pan̄jurli Daiva and Guliga Daiva.
Rishab Shetty plays a character with mythic strength — a protector / tribal leader (sometimes referred to in reports as a Naga Sadhu with supernatural or divine elements) who stands up against oppression and embodies the land’s spiritual voice.
