In a surprising development for fans eagerly awaiting Kantara Chapter 1, the film's release has reportedly been postponed from its previously announced October 2025 schedule. As per a report on Track Tollywood, production delays have pushed the timeline, though an official confirmation from the makers is still awaited.
Directed by and starring Rishab Shetty, Kantara Chapter 1 is said to be a prequel to the 2022 pan-India blockbuster Kantara. Set in an ancient era, the film aims to explore the origin story of the Panjurli Daiva, delving deeper into the spiritual and cultural fabric that made the original a breakout success.

The delay, though unconfirmed officially, is speculated to be due to the film’s large-scale production, which includes extensive period sets and complex action sequences. Given Shetty’s reputation for detail and authenticity, the team appears to be prioritizing quality over a rushed timeline. Directed and written by Rishab Shetty, the film stars Shetty in the lead role, along with Jayaram, Kishore, Jisshu Sengupta, Jayasuriya, and Rakesh Poojari.
