MUMBAI: The first look teaser of the upcoming Rishab Shetty-starrer film ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ has been unveiled and it promises a captivating ride through its cinematic journey. The film is a prequel to Shetty’s 2022 Kannada origin pan-India film ‘Kantara’, which told the story of a deity Panjurli Daiva, who protects a village and the forest under which the village falls.

The new teaser showcases an ominous yet captivating look of Rishab Shetty, and provides a glimpse into the world created by the actor-director for himself. It shows the origins of the legend and how it came into being.

It concludes with a unique touch – seven different ragas of music representing each of the seven languages in which ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ will be released.
