Jayaram expresses gratitude after Kantara becomes a success

Veteran actor Jayaram has captured the hearts of fans once again — this time not just with his powerful performance in Kantara: Chapter 1, but with an emotional message of gratitude that he shared on Instagram.

The actor took a moment to thank audiences for the overwhelming love and appreciation the film has received since its release.

Sharing a behind-the-scenes picture from the film, Jayaram reflected on what the project meant to him personally and how deeply he was moved by the audience’s response. “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for the overwhelming love, reviews, and praises you’ve showered on Kantara Chapter – 1,” he wrote.

“Your words mean more to me than I can ever express, and it fills me with immense gratitude to see the film resonate with you the way it has.” He added.

The timing of the praise made the moment even more meaningful for the actor. The news of the film’s success and the audience’s affection reached him on the day of Ayudha Pooja — a festival that symbolises dedication, hard work, and divine blessings.

Directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara: Chapter 1 has been celebrated for its rich tapestry of folklore, faith, and human emotion, seamlessly blending spirituality with cinematic grandeur. For Jayaram, it’s clearly been more than just another role — it’s an experience that has left a lasting mark on both his career and his heart.

A part of review by Moneycontrol read, "The first part of the movie takes a long time to build up the world and characters, which causes pacing problems. Some essential moments are rushed through, while others appear to go on forever. This makes the story imbalanced. Gulshan Devaiah is a good performer, but his character doesn't leave a lasting impression. It can also feel like too much labour to pack in information about gods, tribes, and cultural things in a short amount of screen time. "
