Kantara Lightning:
Directed by Rishabh Shetty and starring ‘Kantara’, this year’s charm on the screen is very big. Made on a budget of only 16 crores, this movie earned more than 400 crore rupees. Rishab kept the local story and made it visible to the people of the whole country. This movie was first made only for Kannada. But after seeing the response of the people, the production house dubbed it in all languages and released it. Now this movie is in the yard of Oscar at the international level.
What did Rishabh Shetty say?
I came to know about ‘Kantara’ in the Oscar list on Tuesday morning. This is a matter of happiness for both me and my team. It can be called a reward for the work done. Our movie is in the list of best movie and best actor. In this context I would like to mention the production company. Without their cooperation we would not have been able to come this far. I will go to work. When the movie becomes successful, the responsibility increases. Now I have increased responsibility’ said Rishabh Shetty.
