Popular Kannada actor-director Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1 is set to release soon. The trailer, out on September 22, received an overwhelming response.

Addressing a controversial poster on social media claiming, "Viewers should not eat non-veg, drink alcohol, or smoke," Shetty clarified it was fake. “Our production house has nothing to do with it. Everyone has their own lifestyle, and no one has the right to question it,” he said.

He also revealed he met with four accidents during filming and survived by divine intervention. Shetty confirmed the film’s shooting was completed successfully, despite some speculations that the trailer shows only selected scenes.

The post circulating on social media about #Kantara — “3 divine steps to watch Kantara” — is FAKE. It has no connection with the makers and originated from some fan IDs. pic.twitter.com/4aCsA0UTeU
