Set across timelines, the story of Kantara: Chapter 1 traces the mystical origins of a sacred forest and its protectors. In 1970, a young Shiva questions his father Annappa’s disappearance during Buta Kola ritual, tied to a mysterious forest circle. The narrative then shifts to the 4th century, where a tyrannical king’s attempt to exploit a divine spice forest leads to his death at the hands of guardian spirits. A divine child, Berme, grows up to protect the forest and his people, forming a bond with princess Kanakavathi. As greed and betrayal unfold, Kanakavathi conspires to harness divine powers through dark rituals. Berme, empowered by deities like Guliga and later Lord Shiva, wages war to restore balance.

Apart from this, Rishab Shetty is also gearing up for another major project, Jai Hanuman. A sequel to the 2024 hit Hanu-Man, the film is part of the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe and has already generated huge buzz. Shetty will be seen portraying Lord Hanuman.
