It’s only been a few days since Rishabh Shetty announced Kantara 2. The film, a prequel to the events that took place in Kantara, will mark the return of the illustrious Kannada actor to the world of Kantara. While Rishabh has remained tight-lipped about the film, rumor had it that Urvashi Rautela has been signed to play a pivotal role in Kantara 2. The speculations intensified after she shared a picture with Rishabh and captioned it, “Kantara 2 loading.”
In the picture that Urvashi posted on Instagram on Saturday, Urvashi is seen dressed in a yellow outfit and posing with Rishabh. The Kannada actor was also seen in a casual fit. This picture started speculating that Urvashi might be in Kantara 2. However, a source close to the film clarified that Urvashi is not a part of Kantara 2.
“All the rumors regarding the casting of Urvashi Rautela in Kantara 2 are completely baseless and untrue. Recently, Urvashi was present in the same campus with Rishabh Shetty where she requested to meet the Kantara fame star and he politely agreed. She posted a picture clicked with him along with a cryptic caption which gave rise to these completely false rumours,” a source told ETimes.
Rishabh announced Kantara 2 when the first film in the franchise completed 100 days of its release. The team gathered to celebrate as the film’s writer, actors and director opened up about the Kantara sequel. Rishabh shared that what the audience has seen now is actually part 2 and hence what will be released next is a prequel to Kantara. Hinting about the release date, the actor also revealed that the film is likely to hit the theaters in 2024.
“We are very happy and thankful to the audience who showed immense love and support to Kantara and took the journey forward, with the blessings of Almighty God the film has successfully completed 100 days and I would like to take this opportunity to announce the prequel . Of Kantara. What you have seen is actually part 2, part 1 will come next year,” said Rishabh.
“The idea struck me when I was shooting for Kantara as it has more depth in its history, and currently, we are in the middle of digging into more details as far as the writing part is concerned. As the research is still in progress, it is too early to reveal details about the film.”
