Besides Rishab Shetty, Kantara also stars Sapthami Gowda, Manasi Sudhir, Deepak Rai Panaje, Pramod Shetty and Achyuth Kumar in prominent roles. It is bankrolled by Hombale Films. This supernatural action-thriller revolves around the conflict between man and nature. Rishab ingeniously weaves the storyline with ancient traditions and folklore like Kambala, Bhoota Kola, and Yakshaganaa, prevalent in a small village named Keradi, located around the Karnataka coast, in Kantara.
