Gulshan Devaiah is such an underrated actor. From Shaitan to now Kantara, he always brings something unique. His caption is hilarious 😂. Good to know the film is doing so well - second highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 is no small feat. Jai Karnataka cinema!

The success of Kantara proves that audiences are hungry for rooted, regional stories. We don't need just pan-India masala, we need *this*. More power to Rishab Shetty and the team. Can't wait to watch!

As someone who watched the first Kantara without knowing much about the culture, it was a breathtaking experience. This BTS is cute, but I hope the prequel maintains that raw, spiritual energy. The bar is set very high.

Respectfully, while I'm a fan, I hope the prequel doesn't just rely on the first film's glory. The story needs to stand strong on its own. That said, the team looks like they had a blast filming, which is always a good sign.

The fact that it's set in pre-colonial coastal Karnataka has me so excited! Our history and folklore are so rich. More films should explore this. Also, Gulshan's "good for nothing fellas" caption is peak friend group energy 😆
