Rishab, Rukmini, Jayaram carry legacy forward
The Free Press Journal
|October 03, 2025
Kantara A Legend: Chapter I is not a sequel to the 2022 release Kantara, but a prequel.
The film starts off with the historical Kadamba dynasty's cruel ruler and his greed to own everything. One day, when his men catch hold of a mysterious old man, they find a bunch of priceless things falling off his bag. Upon examination, they are led to Kantara - a serene place which sees the harmonious existence of tribes with nature. Hell breaks loose when the Kadamba ruler targets the mysterious place that is protected by the divine.
Things escalate with the entry of Bhangra's King Vijayendra (Jayaram), his evil son Kulasekhara (Gulshan Devaiah) and his daughter Kanakavathi (Rukmini Vasanth). Amidst all this, there is Kantara's leader Berme (Rishab Shetty), who is everyone's 'go-to' man. Situations spiral up when Bhangra sees the entry of Kantara residents in his region. What happens after that is what forms the rest of the film.
