Was Kantara your favorite film of 2022 so far?
Yes. Ask him about care he took for himself to play kola daiva
Kantara and 777 Charlie
A big yes :)
Yes undoubtedly!

Here before this goes viral! ❤
Much deserved love and appreciation for Rishab! 🔥
Absolutely man. He deserves it.
Mahaprabhu neeven illi 😂
Without your recommendation this interview wouldn't be possible I believe. Cheers to good 📽️!!
we need you to interview rishabh jammy. that would be awsome
Did you ask Anupama what she felt (and survived) after watching a film with so much Hindu culture and religious imagery? Will she write a hit piece just like she did for RRR and Rocketry?
The very last scene where Shiva meets his father in the forest was very emotional. The facial expressions were out of this world. This isn't a movie it's a live on experience. It simply stays with you.
Rishab Shetty has embarrassed himself here. Majority of Kannadigas speak Kannada and English yet he made this interview in Hindi so us kannada speakers cannot understand.....
You're typing in English right now. The only person embarassing themselves is you. Identification and attachment detracts you from your highest self. Stop cheating yourself like this.@@debodatta7398
@@debodatta7398 Some people find negativity in everything 🤌
The fact that he spoke in Hindi being a non-Hindi speaker tells a lot about his character. If you look at the bollywood actors who come to FC , how many speak in proper hindi ? The way he talks about his film, his involvement, how he conceptualized the story, everything is mesmerizing. I love how rooted he is!
Rishabh Shetty wearing a Dhoti ( notably, black) & promoting his film in an otherwise English entertainment website's UA-cam channel by speaking in Hindi about his Kannada film is true representation of India & our acceptance for diversity. By the way, I'm a Rishabh fan from Kerala.
#Kantara
All his interviews are in dhoti.
@@karnatakaanimesociety5009 she is bit baised...mostly promotes her favourites in Bollywood too...ignore her don't give her much importance...
@@karnatakaanimesociety5009 Just like how you kannada people force everyone to speak in Kannada
@@Vadlasushanth5 if you compares actions of few with the entire community then you are also equivalent to that few... tbh Karnataka is most diverse with many different linguistics community - Tulu, Kannada, Marathi, Konkani, Baryi, Koraga etc who didn't came from outside.
Wow you painted the picture so beautifully 🔥💜
Even though Rishabh knows English well, He tried to explain everything in Hindi(at his best). that's the kind of respect one should give to other language.
Huge respect to Rishabh Shetty.
Because he is bharatiya , he don't see bharat through English men lens
preach brother preach!especially to tamilians.
Also i would like my north indian brothers to give more respect to south indian languages and culture.
never seen this respect reciprocated by Hindi speakers
Arun Kumar, What's your insta id? I wanna talk
Being Tulu ..raised in mumbai as Maharashtrian, this movie strongly made realized my south indian roots. M grateful to the Kantara team. Sincere thanks to Rishab Anna ❤️❤️❤️
This is the beauty of the south Indian film industry...So down to earth, so humble, so calm... Huge respect for real "HERO"....Kantara is the most wonderful film i've ever watched in my entire life... If this film is not nominated for an Oscar, this will be my last watched movie...

lol.....same old story is your best film???
@@dianachristal3104 Yes dear.... Our old stories belong to an era when other civilizations do not even exist...
Exactly my thoughts. South Indian cinema is all about story telling (and that makes them the "super stars") whereas bullywood is about stardom and money only. Not quality cinema. Any good movie they've made is a remake of South Indian cinema. Ofcourse a very few bollywood originals are a rare drop.
Rishab Shetty has embarrassed himself here. Majority of Kannadigas speak Kannada and English yet he made this interview in Hindi so us kannada speakers cannot understand.....
24:32 , He meant "everything is eternally existing in nature, we can't create anything new, we recreate the same thing over n over again." That's Deep 🔥
That's is exactly what the Hindu philosophy teaches us - samsara!

@@meteorologicalscience5591 Charlie had unnecessary love angle and is dragged in the middle ... Kantara is far more superior than Charlie
No foreign brand clothing.. no shimmering lights, no fake accents, no bad mouthing, just a treat to watch his interview same as the movie created.
One can see the effort gone into it .. watching this movie once is not enough.. and has to be watched in theatre.
Like he said he dint make the movie, some driving force around him encouraged him and supported him and it happens.. no explanation..
while watching this movie I was in trance in a different world..
Bevaarsi 😂
I am sure the shirt and specs might be of foreign brand. Or perhaps watch. You may say he was humble in his appearance and style and filled with blings.
Such a positive person!
Ya 😀👍
I am from Delhi and saw this movie in theatre, in Kannada, to get the real feel.
It may surprise many of you, but I found it not that difficult to understand it. Sanskrit words helped me understand it to a great extent.
Most beautiful part was the tears rolling down my eyes, at the end, making me feel watching something that's mine, ours, of my roots, of my brother's and sisters in southern part of my country.
Wonderful work to connect the Indians and understanding the commonality between us.
Thank you. As a Kannadiga, we all like North Indians and all other Indians from West to East and especially, beautiful people from 7 sister states of North East India.
The fact is kannada contains 70% of Sanskrit words or Words derived from Sanskrit
@@shrinikta
Mam,
Whichever Indian language you take, some words originated from Sanskrit...
26:40 - His reply in that segment about how the legends of Kannada Film Industry namingly Dr. Rajkumar, Vishnuvardhan & Shankar Nag had already paved the path absolutely stole my heart.
Exactly, he is mature and not getting carried away by the film's success. I really liked his mention of Shankar Nag sir's contribution, and that would pave the way for others to find out more.
And Upendra
@@user-hs7xq5tz3g Equally there, that's why he called him a legendary director.
And what he said is absolutely true.
Shankar Nag and upendra's movies truly deserve lot of accolade.. somehow they got underrated because of the time they born..Upendra had lot of telugu fans..
This man is so humble. Massive respect. Kantara was a breath of fresh air. Something we have never witnessed before. Everything about this film was magical! Hats off.
People from Tulunadu (Mangalore, Udupi and Kundapura) spend crores of money for Daivva Aradane. The feel they get from is totally different. There is saying Only Panjurli Daivva as Varadan from Lord Shivji he can take life of human 12 yrs earlier or 12 yrs later. Since tulunadu called as Parashurama Srishti, and Temples land, Nagaradane and Bhoota Kola are the prime worship in every individual house irrespective of caste and creed
Are you liking this movie for his humbleness or the way he entertained in the movie ??
Watch Rangasthalam (Telugu movie). Kaanthara is of course different from RS but you will see that the hero's characterization is bit on the same lines.

Rishabh Shetty deserves 2 national awards one for direction and another for best actor he has created masterpiece Kantara 🔥🔥
Der aaye par drust ayye ❤️
He already have a national award for direction
Being a kasaragodian I fell in love with this film. At our place it is called "Theyyam". We have our version of Gulikan Theyyam. This man is rooted to the core. I wish we had people like him in malayalam who does Theyyam related films in malayalam. There were no malayalam films about Theyyam after Kaliyattam(1997). It's been a long long time. I was dying to see a movie like this and this man just blew my mind.
I thought the same after watching this movie.
Bhoot kola is also performed in Kerala. I am from Kumbla and we used to go to our Tulu friends house for Bhoota kola.
@@Suresh_Kamath yes ofcourse, it's all the same bro. In malayalam it's called Theyyam and tulu or kannada it's called Bhoota kola. Kasaragod is after all a multi cultural, multi linguistic district right ? We say kasargod is Saptha Bhasha Sangama Bhoomi. ❤❤
We are proud of the tulu heritage of our land bro. Same for our Konkani heritage too.
Yessss🙏 me too had thought the same .
Same. I've been to Kannur many times to see Theyyam. Great art form.
I am so proud that Rishab didn't forget the roots of Kannada cinema, he gave credit to Dr. Rajkumar, Dr. Vishnuvardhan, Puttanna Kanagal, Siddalingaiah and many... Spoke about Kannada cinema legacy.. this shows his upbringing.. we need such people today where negativity is all around, he represents humanity over success
Mam, you are cute. So is Kantara and Rishab sir 🙏😁
What an interview ❤️
When he said "Regional is universal" it won many hearts. He is sooo down to earth his smiling face...such a telented man.The way he represents his culture by wearing dhoti 😍😍😍we luv u sir we are lucky to have you in our Kannada film industry. U are asset to our industry. He deserves national award for kantata. First it was Kgf1 and Kgf2, Charlie 777, now it's KANTARA... RRR (Rakshit Shetty, Raj Shetty , Rishab Shetty) Proud kannadigas.
ua-cam.com/video/TmhMp75NUTQ/v-deo.html
Are you liking this movie for wearing Dhothi ?? or the way he entertained you in the movie ??
@@dandalasuman Ohh so i don't have any freedom to express what i felt? U came to question me ova here?😂 Look i just said how he carries himself n represents his culture. Coming to the movie now i need not tell anything everyone are speechless. So dat itself says hwz his movie. Nobody likes someone just for wearing dothi...got it?
@@Apurva.Raghavendra No way I obstructed your freedom of expression. I just expressed my doubt that based on which point you liked movie? Answering or NOT answering that question is your freedom. If you think that I shouldn't express my doubts and get clarity then you are the one obstructing my freedom of expression.
Regarding movie, I have already wached movie without reading any online reviews and made my own opinion. He has shown the culture of the region where the story happens, lot of hard work has gone into the the way he acted, It highlights the problems in the society and I am happy for that. But I couldn't get laugh & get thrilled while watching.
@@Apurva.Raghavendra Hi Apurva, the movie is set in Tulunadu. They are Tulu speakers. Some of them identify themselves as proud Kannadigas. Some of them oppose the imposition of Kannada to the detriment of Tulu.
Dhoti is not a cultural marker. It is worn due to the weather conditions.
What a gentleman..Need such talented people to take Indian Cinema to next level ..Gem in the crown of Kannada Cinema ... Huge Respect
. Kannada pride.
I am from West Bengal and I am thankful to the Kantara movie team for upholding our great culture and dharma which Bollywood can not..
What a movie it was!! Marvelous!!
It's not bollywood's job to uphold anybody's dharma! 😄 😄 People expect anything from anybody these days! 😄 😄
Yeah Bollywood job is to show buslims stronger than hindus
Rishab Shetty has embarrassed himself here. Majority of Kannadigas speak Kannada and English yet he made this interview in Hindi so us kannada speakers cannot understand.....
This is what happens when the divine blesses the hard work. One of the best interview from a man who took Kannada movies to the next level. Kantara is a masterpiece which will be remembered for generations. In my town there are people who didn't watch any movies for decades are coming to theatres to watch Kantara.. It truly deserves all the awards in all the categories..acting, direction, music, cinematography and art.. Thank you Rishabh and your team for gifting this divine experience to Indian public
This has been such a great year for huge Indian films (RRR, KGF2, PS-1) and yet, just 15mins into Kantara and I knew this is going to be the biggest and best film I'll watch this year. The most magical theatrical experience I've ever had. That climax gave me goosebumps! Take a bow, Rishab Shetty.

List is fine. Not vikrant rona ..pls ...bad movie ..nothing other than rakkamma
@indian Hi Bro it's a very good Movie marking & the presentation anyhow it's your thoughts no comments on this
I love the fact that he is proud of his cultural heritage unlike some stars who feel ashamed of it. Especially loved that he proudly spoke kannada in the end. These are the kind of people our country needs.
I don't think Kannada movies have ever gotten the kind of attention that Kantara has! Its surreal and it feels so good to see people from all over watching Kannada movies. Most people seldom talk about Kannada movies unless its like KGF. Thank you, Rishab Shetty!
His love towards soil, motherland, language,artists, culture,tradition, philosophy, thoughts, down to earth...omg absolutely true kannada was peak before 30 years when legends like dr Rajkumar sir, dri vishnuvardhan sir and shankarnag that time other industries used to remake movies and now we are seeing again the glory of kannada..sirigannadam gelge sirigannadam baalge...love your mother,mother tongue, mother earth, mother bharat and dharma.. ❤️🔥
Rishab Shetty Sir.... M a big Bollywood Buff & let me tell you this i have never seen anything like this in Hindi.... Unbelievable everything.... Watched with subs and i understood each & every shot.... Hat's Off ... So Raw & Entertaining... Get ready for National Awards 💯❤️🇮🇳

The thing he said about some external force I felt that external energy in that last 15 Minutes of this movie. I have seen similar rituals in my village in Kerala and i don't know bcz of that but I had goosebumps, my heart was filled , I cried and I was so overwhelmed in the end that I couldn't think. This movie is epic in all sense truly. He justified every bit of it ❤❤
Same in Goa.
2 min silence for those who have not watched kantara in theatres even now🙏🙏... don't you guys miss this experience ..it's 10000× greater than any holly bolly movie you have ever seen ..i feel blessed that i got a chance to watch this movie in Hindi...guys make this experience a part of ur life you won't regret🥶🥶
I was visiting Hyderabad and watched in my native Telugu language.
Agree with all you said
Nothing beat watching a movie in it's original language with English subtitles rather than it's dubbed version.
when you want to watch this masterpiece so badly but all the shows are full 🙃🥲
Brother aaj hi dekhi Goosebumps aa gaye hai abi tak

He even directed "Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shaale", which got a national award, Absolute gem of a film. Takes us back to our school days, a fun film to freshen ur moods. Do watch it.
Is it available in ott?
@@prasanthpathiyil it is available on jio cinema and sun NXT..
Such a divine experience.. 10/10…
Bollywood can’t even imagine in their dreams of making such movies.. That’s Kannada movies for you.. Proud kannadiga !!
Kantara is not a movie, it is way more than that. I'm not born and raised in karnataka but while watching the climax of the movie tears rolled down my eyes. This is the sentiment the movie portrays. Trust me I am thinking what actual I can write to express what i feel about this movie. I'm sorry there is not enough word left.
this guy has a national award for his previous directorial, he introduced rashmika mandanna, great actor, great director hopefully he receives another award for this masterpiece... KGF was one extreme, 777charlie was an other, but this here is gonna be a legend for sure, ALL THE VERY BEST.
introducing that dagar is the only bad thing Rishab did
She is just a cute face but not a great actress to be proud about
Even vikrant Rona was an extreme.

Kannada pride. Kannada power.
Never heard about Bhoota kola before so obviously one part of Karnataka is being overshadowed by other. Telangana got it’s due culturally only after it was seperated from Andhra Pradesh
@@TruthTriumphs1 even several districts of north Karnataka are not given any attention, so we sld ask for utthar Karnataka too? Stop this dividing of diverse cultures
Most of those people are 90s and after born.
Being from Southern old mysore border, we grew up reading about Late Shivaram Karanth and many coastal and Malnad writers. It's not new, it's only new to WhatsApp university generation that has succumbed to RSS divisive forces and reduced once intellectual Karavali and Malnad into communal hotbed. ತುಳು is an extreme modification of ಕನ್ನಡ as good as Some kannada versions in deep rural are incomprehensible to Bengaluru and other city born and brought up kids. You should listen to deep rural ಕನ್ನಡ in mysoru, chamarajanagar state border areas.
@@TruthTriumphs1 You should Thank Kannadigas for their greatness now, because without having Karnataka divided now you know about Bhoota Kola.
There is definitely a super natural energy in Kanthara. This movie will go a long way.
everyone who watched it felt it :)
I am from urban North and I related with every sec of this movie. I felt and continue to feel so much love and reverence for these Daivatas. The last scene where Panjurli deva hugs the ppl - so much love. Blessed we are. We have these common threads. Watched twice and want to watch more.

Just Say Hindu, missionaries n madrasas are taking advantage of it...
it is not only tulu culture. Every Village have Kuldevi/kuldevta. Being Gujarati I connected to Spirituality of Movie. Because this is Sanatan Culture.❤️❤️
No Gujarati, Tulu just Sanatan Culture.🚩🚩
@JuMbO and @Reality no it is Tulu culture. It is not Hindu or Tanatan culture per se. Not all Hindus do it, it is unique to Tulunad (and hence by extension to Karnataka and to an extent South India). There are lots of Gujaratis and North Indians in Mangalore but they do not join in or understand it neither we expect them to understand it. But we expect that we are allowed to take our culture forward and the North Indians and Gujaratis do not impose their language and culture on us. And Christians and Muslims are as much as part of our Tulunad as Hindus. In our place we live together, speak the same language, Tulu (Muslims speak a dialect called Beri bhashe) and more or less share the same cuisine. I have been to Kambalas where Christians and Muslims have their bulls to race. So even if they do not worship our gods they understand and respect the sentiments.
@@dshetty1154 have you ever heard of Razakkars the ancestors of Assaud uddin Owaisi n what they did with Hindus of Northern Karnataka??
I am honestly admitting that I have minimal knowledge about the southern customs, rituals, and traditions but while watching Kantara I never felt as if I was something from an alien culture, I deeply connected with the characters and their stories. Raad film🔥 Namaskaram from Bihar 🙏🙏🙏

What anupama needs to understand is,
Not every movie can be seen from an urban perspective. Shiva was meant to be weird. It was a creative choice. Shiva was meant to do everything wrong. It didn't sit well with a lot of people but I think the director found it necessary to show him that way.
Well said👍
Agreed
She understood now I feel
100% correct, Shiva's brute and contrast had to be shown, he's not the typical hero.
yes. he was rural raw minded guy, he is not perfect. cuts tree. hunts wild animals. look at heroine in weird way etc. all creative choice he made

dr Rajkumara black & white films on Indian mythology were wonderful 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I feel Karnataka film industry can lead cultural revival of films much more than Telgu which seems heavily stylized or Tamil/Malayalam that have become too commie and always relegate culture to niche art cinema…. Bollywood went down the drain, no hope for them to revive.
Ya kannada industry used to be good in 70s 80s but later on it tanked totally. I rarely watch kannada movies rarely being a kannadiga myself because they are bad or nothing interesting at all. Only few films recently I have watched on ott. It's a good thing the shetty trio are reviving the dying industry. Untimely demise of Shankarnag was the biggest cause of kannada industry downturn.
He just speaks from his heart. Very passionate filmmaker. Proud of you Rishab!!
. Kannada pride. Kannada power.
After watching the film 4 times in theatres, I still want to watch it again. I became a fan of Rishab and watched all the interviews. This one is the best I would say. Spot on questions and giving so much space is what every interviewer should do like Anupama. Kantara is still running in theatres in Chennai. I used to say if u go deep into ur routes u ll find international ideas. But Rishab’s quote of Regional is Universal is more simpler yet powerful. Congratulations Rishab. Thank u for Kantara.

His humility is paramount.. one of the many takeaways from the conversation..
Rishabh was extraordinary in this movie, if this were an English movie, the world would be celebrating this performance with every award out there!
This is a movie that must be watched in the theatres. The intensity of Rishab Shetty's performance is incredible. One of the few movies I've watched twice in the theatres. I'm so so proud of KFI.

This is amazing. I am From Mangalore someone explaining our culture on National stage …. so proud. I guess seeing something you believe in deeply represented so beautifully on screen is very overwhelming Thank You Rishab 😊. Namma Shetty Rocks. Bari yedde kelasa maldar…
Have tears in my eyes, just because he is so truthful and humble
I love his simplicity. His attire. No show off.🤩
Because he's a South Indian simple :) We are that way and we love our politicians and stars that way. Definitely not the Bollywood/North Indian way.
If he showed off, would you like that he shows off?
It's so damn great to see all four South Indian industries (what North Indians know only as Madrasi films) are flying higher and higher.....all Bollywood can do now is try to remake these masterpieces from regional cinema....Hats off to Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil film industries 👏👏
1-Madras was the name of a big province for two centuries which covered parts of all five South Indian states. So the Madrasi used in past decades was not a demeaning word but a word to refer to people from a geography. Like even after new names,people continue to address countries & people as Persia,Burma,Ceylon. If I called a film as Burmese ,it is not to demean anyone but just that I am not aware about the changed name Myanmar. You can find fault with my ignorance but not my intention. Hence plz don't stereotype any community. I haven't heard the phrase Madrasi films ever . At the most,people say South Indian movies or manytimes as Telugu ,Tamil movies. Internet has helped in disseminating knowledge.Now things have changed .So please update yourself.
2-Bollywood doesn't represent North Indian culture & languages.
@@Worldcitizen2000 i respectfully disagree with you assessment my friend....maybe this change in mindset is prevalent in some metros, but as a South Indian born and brought up in MP, I still see and meet people for whom South Indians are Madrasis.....even now when I'm settled in Bangalore, i often hear my colleagues from Northern states use that lingo....it's just an inbuilt prejudice sort of a thing....maybe you are educated enough, but not everyone around you....and I'm not questioning anyone's intention, it's as you said, just ignorance that is easily avoidable
Rishabh’s “Sarkari Prathamika Shaale” is absolute gem of a film. You guys should watch it. Fantastic songs, screenplay, comedy, emotions etc
Hi.. Where I can see this. I need subtitles too
Sarkaari is an amazing movie.
Is it dubbed in hindi?
It is a true story as well
Mcx movies
Finally the respect he deserved. NATIONAL AWARDS INCOMING FOR KANTARA
Rishab is a true artist, so humble and Kantara is a cinematic brilliance !
He is a man who thinks and listens to his heart ❤️. Much respect to Rishabh Sir 🙏. From Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Being a Manglorean and experienced south Canara village life in my childhood at Grandparents, this movie was so authentic from the language to the clothes to the traditions! Such a trip ! Can’t wait for my kids to watch it …have to wait till they’re a bit older
I was smiling throughout the interview. What a personality and what a journey! Looking forward to more from him.
I think I MUST SEE KANTHARA on Big screen...and i promise to watch by tomorrow!!!!
Did you watch it?
Kantara definitely had incredible energy in the climax. Absolutely overwhelming. I cried for about 30 min. I felt like i had seen some divine being. Amazing movie kudos to Rishab shetty and the whole team.
The Shakti is definitely transmitted through the screen especially during Rishab 's performance in the climax scene! Powerful cinema!
Just love him! Great effort and vision!
This should be our nomination for Oscars
A minute of silence to all those who have not yet watched this magnificent movie in theatre
Last 20 min is mind blowing. I will be surprised if he don’t get national award for this film. Only if he has god’s grace he can do that acting. No one else can or ll be able to act like him.
I’ve never experienced anything like this in a theatre
Sad that they show hindu god man peeping at bathing girl and pinches her tummy without her consent
At last what he said he is absolutely correct..Iam from Himachal and we have very similar ritual and Deva culture..Kantara was an so amazing
Thanks Rishabh and team it was a great experience to watch this movie. I watched the dubbed Hindi version in Delhi last night and theatre was packed…People clapped in the end..
Last time I saw that reaction from audience was for The Dark Knight..
Really Himachal has similar Deva bhoota culture? How interesting..
Such rituals and traditions are found all over India.
@@blueskyearthkrish7134 yes I from Himachal...you can seen it Manali and kullu ,which is called daivland....
Also in uttarakhand
We have also chetrapal wo save the area of land
And we called this ritual is Jagar
Where the spirit of devta inter in specific man and woman body
🙏🙏
@@blueskyearthkrish7134 not only in himachal but also in sikkim darjeeling and Nepal
He wore in South Indian dress! ❤
He's so humble and talking very nicely despite the film is an all time blockbuster! 🥰
Love this film and this person Rishab is also outstanding
Rishabh, you ended the interview in Kannada 🙏. I see Anant nag in you. The innocence, the speed, the innovative ideas, the sense of humour,the down to earth nature, love towards our kannada language, love towards people and nature. God bless you.
Very true,u took my words.👍👍
Having born and raised in Mangalore, I can relate to the theme and culture depicted in this movie very much. Annual celebration of the demi-gods is a deep-rooted cultural part of the people of Tulunad - Tulu-speaking community of the coastal Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district of which Mangalore is the head quarters. I have seen and experienced these traditions, close and first hand and am happy that Rishab took it on himself to bring this out to the world. Long overdue in regards to exposing this cultural aspect. Kudos.
Lucky you are bro....
Same here. Felt very nostalgic. My uncle had a Tulu friend and we used to go to his house for Bhoota Kola. Since you are from Mangalore you might be familiar with Bhootamastan near Canara girls high school
Being a mangalorian I totally agree with you
We are lucky to to see this a
khola kudla
Its a great feeling to see this movie getting so much love from all over India. Irrespective of region, state, language all Indians have appreciated, this shows the unity among Indians when it comes to good content also it shows how amazing the movie is.
He is more talented than all the Bollywood directors combined 👏👏👏
This comment deserves a trillion likes
Sanjay leela bansali rajkumar hirani anurag kashyap imtiaz ali are not bollywood directors?
What an interview man, as a kannadiga got goosebumps with his way of explaining about demi gods, Thank you rishab sir you made us so proud. This is beauty of our sanatana Dharma.🚩🇮🇳
Many Hindi Audience don't know ....In KFI there was and there are many Writer- Screenplay-Director-Actor ...Shankarnag Sir - He Directed Malgudi Days , Upendra , Ravichandran
Dr Rajkumar and Vishnuvardhan too💯
@@ravi23039 Yeah but his old films are gem for Kannada industry.
@@shravandikshith they never directed any movies. Those 2 are veteran actors
Puttanna kanagal🙄
Don’t include Ravichandran please, all he did was remakes. Almost all his original movies were disasters
Beaming with pride. Not that being interviewed by a mainstream Hindi film critic is the ultimate validation but it’s such a nice feeling to see coastal Karnataka being represented!!
She's a propagandist, not a critic.
I saw this film yesterday in a theatre here in Mumbai. As a Malayali, I could relate to some of the rituals and art forms of Dakshina Karnataka region as shown in Kantara. We have a similar folklore called 'Theyyam' in North Kerala. Interestingly, the most surprising element in the film for me was the quality humour and light hearted moments within the drama. It looked natural and was well paced throughout. Overall, the film is quite fast paced and maybe that is the engaging factor here. It also has a certain entertainment value. Congratulations to Rishab and his team!
It's dakshina Kannada... not Karnataka
I m just loving this feeling looking forward to witness the ritual in real
Thank you Rishab for showing our tulu culture to whole India/world. Very nice to see people appreciating from all over the world. That shows how this generation appreciates more raw/real content than the show off.
First it is Hindu culture, Kundapura Kannada culture plus tulu culture as well. Thanks
This interview is soo sweet 😌
Very happy to see anupama Chopra interviewing kannada film actor... Wanted this from ages... These guys are going to change the KFI completely ☺️
Is she a benchmark of film criticism.? The real critics of a film are it's spectators and in that way Rishab is the topper.👌
Not easy! Not at all easy! What a talent. Making a movie out of this story the execution was beyond perfection. And he himself did 3 major roles oh my my how on earth did he pulled this off. Hats off! Kannada industry is filled with talent.
Why he's hindi is so cute😭😭
At last he is saying..."Hopefully main thik se baat kiya?" How can these south actors be so humble although their level is par above these salman, amir, akshay,etc...!!!
This feels more like a conversation than an interview great work by interviewer kudos👏🏻
Bro this interviewer anupama is a chudail ...she hats our hindu culture and dont want to talk in hindi.....and other side person is just 🙏🙏🙏
PURE LOVE AND RESPECT to you Rishab Shetty! It was a treat watching this interview.
I am from Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. We have same kind of "chetra pal devta " as described by Rishabh sir ,who guards our village boundaries. I so did connected to the movie. One of the bestest I have seen
