Kantara: Chapter 1 released in theatres on October 2, 2025, and as expected, all the headlines belong to its actor, director, and writer, Rishab Shetty. The 2025 Kannada-language mythological action drama film is a prequel to the 2022 blockbuster, Kantara. The prequel is set in the pre-colonial coastal Karnataka and explores the roots of the Bhuta Kola ritual, which gained worldwide interest in the original film. The film's cast features some fresh faces alongside a series of renowned stars, including Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, Gulshan Devaiah, Pramod Shetty, and many more.

The film managed to collect Rs. 8.6 crore till 10 am on the first day of its release in all languages. Several trade experts have already predicted that Kantara: Chapter 1 has the potential to beat Chhava to become the highest-earning Indian film of 2025.
