Director-Actor Rishab Shetty's Unique Approach to 'Kantara Chapter 1'

As the highly anticipated 'Kantara Chapter 1' prepares for its release on October 2, 2025, director-actor Rishab Shetty has shared insights into his unique approach to filming certain scenes. Shetty explains that he had to make personal sacrifices, such as abstaining from non-vegetarian food and going barefoot, in order to fully immerse himself in his character.

"At that moment, I didn't eat non-vegetarian food and didn't wear footwear because I needed clarity of mind," Shetty said during a press meet. He stressed the importance of trust and discipline on set, stating, "I didn't want to question anyone's trust. I respect everyone's trust. I expect the same respect in return."

Meanwhile, a fake poster claiming that viewers should not consume non-vegetarian food before watching the film went viral on social media. However, Shetty quickly clarified that this was not an official poster and that the production team had no involvement in it. "We have nothing to do with this. We have no right to criticize anyone's personal eating habits or rituals," he said.

With the film's release just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of 'Kantara Chapter 1', which is set to open big on October 2, 2025. Shetty's dedication to his craft and his commitment to maintaining a respectful environment on set have garnered praise from his fans, who see it as a balance between art and trust.
