India, Sept. 21 -- In only 10 days, actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty's much-awaited Kantara Chapter 1, the prequel to his successful Kantara (2022), hits theatres. The buzz in industry circles is that Kantara Chapter 1 is expected to be 2025's Rs 1,000 crore+ film, given that the original had made a little over Rs 400 crore. There is tremendous anticipation around the film - this time around, Rishab had a much bigger budget to play around with, unlike in 2022, when he thought he'd made a big-budget film in under Rs 15 cr. Kantara Chapter 1 has been mounted on a three-figure budget, estimated to be between Rs 100 cr and Rs 120 cr.
