Rishab Shetty to visit temple for Kantara's success

Creator and star Rishab Shetty is taking a moment to express gratitude in a very intimate and spiritual way as Kantara: Chapter 1 continues to set records and win over hearts all over the nation.

For Rishab, this visit is more than a ritual – it’s an emotional homecoming of sorts. The spiritual depth of Kantara: Chapter 1 reflects his own connection to faith and tradition, and his visit to the temple beautifully echoes the soul of the film itself.
