Earlier this month, the makers also shared a special birthday poster for Rishab Shetty, who turned 42. In the poster, Shetty is seen holding a battle axe and a shield, giving a glimpse of his powerful role in the film.

Rishab Shetty, who also directs the film, gained wide recognition for 'Kantara,' which released in 2022 and became a pan-India success. He played the lead role in the film and also won the National Award for Best Actor.

On receiving the honor, Shetty told ANI earlier, "This has been possible because of my entire team. I am just the face of the film; it is all because of their hard work. The production house, the DOP, the technicians--it's all because of them."

Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, 'Kantara' followed the character of Shetty, who portrayed a Kambala champion who had a faceoff with an upright Forest Range Officer. Kantara also won the 'Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment' award.

'Kantara Chapter 1' is set to hit theatres on October 2.

The way Rishab Shetty showcases our Karnataka culture is simply amazing. After Kantara, I took my family to visit those places shown in the film. Hope Chapter 1 continues this beautiful tradition of storytelling rooted in our heritage.

I appreciate Rishab's humility in giving credit to his team. That's rare in Bollywood where stars take all the credit. But I hope Chapter 1 has better VFX - some scenes in Kantara looked a bit rushed. Still, big fan of his work!

The poster looks so powerful! Rishab Shetty has that rare intensity in his eyes that makes you believe in his character completely. Kantara's climax gave me goosebumps - hope Chapter 1 can match that emotional impact.

October 2 release is perfect timing for Dasara holidays! Planning to take my whole family. After Kantara, my parents who never watch movies in theaters are excited for this one. That's the power of good regional cinema going national.

As someone new to Indian cinema, Kantara was my introduction to Kannada films. The cultural depth was incredible! Excited for Chapter 1 but hope they keep English subtitles for wider audience like me who don't know the language.
