Kantara: Chapter 1 – Gulshan Devaiah Stuns as Kulashekara in First Look Poster

All eyes remain on Rishab Shetty’s upcoming prequel, Kantara: Chapter 1, which will hit theatres worldwide on October 2. The film follows the phenomenal success of Kantara and continues to build massive anticipation. The makers fueled excitement further by unveiling actor Gulshan Devaiah’s first look from the film.

Gulshan Devaiah as Kulashekara

Bollywood actor Gulshan Devaiah enters Sandalwood with this project. The makers introduced him as Kulashekara, a character that adds a new dimension to the story. The first look poster shows him in a regal avatar, wearing long hair, gold ornaments, and a crown while sitting on a throne. The team kept his casting under wraps until now, and this reveal injects fresh mystery into the narrative.

Rukmini Vasanth as Kalavathi

The team earlier showcased actress Rukmini Vasanth as Kalavathi (also called Kanakavathi in earlier updates). She, along with Gulshan Devaiah’s Kulashekara, plays a crucial role in expanding the universe of Kantara: Chapter 1.

A Three-Year Journey of Making

Director Rishab Shetty calls this project more than just a film; he describes it as a divine force. He and his team shot the film over three years, completing nearly 250 days of work with thousands of people contributing. The makers earlier released a special making video that showed fans the dedication, hard work, and cultural depth invested in the project.

In the video, Shetty declared, “I have a dream to tell the story of my land to the whole world. Our people, our beliefs, our culture. This is not just a film; it is a divine force.” His words highlight the spiritual and cultural roots of the film.

Pan-India Release

Hombale Films produces Kantara: Chapter 1 and prepares to release it across India. The film will release in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, and English. Composer Ajaneesh Loknath, who delivered memorable music for the original Kantara, scores the soundtrack once again.

The Legacy of Kantara

The first film, Kantara, achieved blockbuster status across India. Rishab Shetty played a dual role, joined by Sapthami Gowda, Kishore, and Achyuth Kumar. Its powerful storytelling and rooted cultural backdrop turned it into a nationwide phenomenon. With Kantara: Chapter 1, Shetty now takes audiences back in time to reveal the origins of this mystical world.

As excitement rises, the first look of Gulshan Devaiah as Kulashekara marks a powerful step toward the grand release on October 2, when this highly awaited saga unfolds on the big screen.
