Kannada film Kantara did the unthinkable by collecting over Rs. 400 crores gross worldwide. The film stars Rishab Shetty as the protagonist, and he also wielded the megaphone for this action drama laced with divine elements. The prequel titled Kantara 2 is now in the making. Rishab Shetty will reprise his role as Shiva and he also is the director for Kantara 2.

As per the latest buzz, Malayalam star hero Mohanlal is set to act in this much-anticipated flick. The word is that Mohanlal will play the father of Rishab Shetty. Mohanlal’s role is said to be an intense one with high prominence in the story. However, an official confirmation about Mohanlal inclusion is yet to be made.

The first installment was a massive hit across languages, and hence, Kantara 2 has every chance to touch the 1000 crore mark if made well. The budget for Kantara 2 is huge, and Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films is bankrolling the film on a massive scale. The makers are planning to release the film during Summer 2025.
