Jr NTR makes BIG revelation on Kantara Chapter 1 shoot
Speaking at the event, Jr NTR reflected on Rishab Shetty’s commitment to the film and said it was impossible to make the movie for Rishab. He said, “I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the effort he put into making Kantara Chapter 1. It’s not an easy film to make. You may have seen it on social media. He took me to a temple near his hometown, one that you can only reach by wading through water."He went on to share a remarkable detail about the film’s shooting conditions: “There was no path to reach that temple; they had to create one just to set up the shoot. It’s humanly impossible. If it weren’t for Rishab sir and the team that believed in his vision, I don’t think Kantara Chapter 1 would have been possible.”
