About Kantara
Language is unimportant when the content is strong, as Rishab Shetty's Kantara demonstrated. Kantara was always supposed to be a Kannada-only movie, and thanks to English subtitles, it was nonetheless a huge success worldwide despite the language barrier. Later, the movie was released in Hindi and all of the South Indian languages. The background of Rishab Shetty's screenplay and direction, Kantara, is the Keraadi region in coastal Karnataka.
