The action-thriller movie Kantara debuted in theatres in September 2022. The film has altered the public view of pan-Indian films. Rishab Shetty wrote and directed the film. It demonstrated that, in the end, content reigns supreme. The film took shape as a Kannada release first. The project was then dubbed and made available in all significant Indian languages.
Kantara and its actor-director Rishab Shetty won Anil Kapoor's admiration. The actor and the director were attending a discussion organized by an online publication. The well-known Bollywood actor praised the pan-Indian hit film. He stated his willingness to collaborate with the gifted director. Rishab Shetty discussed his months-long rehearsal process for his movies in an interview. He highlighted this as the main reason director tends to cast rookies in their movies.
Anil Kapoor was completely fascinated by the concept. He instantly stated that he would like to work with Rishab. He also requested the director to cast him in his upcoming production. "Put me in your upcoming movie. I had worked on a Kannada movie called Pallavi Anupallavi by Mani Ratnam," the actor remarked. Later, when the Kantara director talked about making a follow-up to his hit film, the actor once more made a suggestion that he would like to work with him. And made the amusing comment that they should have sat next to one another.
