'Kantara's Varaha Roopam song mesmerizes fans at a cultural festival with PM Modi in attendance

Rishab Shetty's ‘Kantara’ has made a lot of buzz with its success since its release on September 30, 2022. While the film has received a lot of love and admiration from all over the world, our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 'Barisu Kannada Dim Dimava' cultural festival on Saturday, when Dr. CK Ramesh and his team performed on Kantara’s Varah Roopam in front of him.
This cultural festival was held at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi at 5 PM.CK Ramesh also addressed the gathering in the evening. This cultural festival was organized to celebrate Karnataka's culture, traditions, and history. It also drew parallels with the Prime Minister's vision of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'.
The film set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, ‘Kantara’ follows a Kambala champion, also played by Rishab Shetty, who comes to loggerheads with an upright Forest Range officer, Murali (Kishore). Kambala is an annual race, held from November to March in coastal Karnataka, in which a jockey drives a pair of buffaloes, tied to the plough, through parallel muddy tracks.
‘Kantara’ was released in the Kannada version and Hindi version on 30th September and 14th October respectively. The film is written and directed by Rishab Shetty. The film features Rishab Shetty, Sapthami Gowda, and Kishore Kumar G in pivotal roles.
Very soon the film will be having a prequel and Rishab Shetty is busy writing the script and will be going to shoot in June. The makers plan to release the film in 2024 Summer.
