Speaking at the event, Jr NTR reflected on Rishab'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."

Further, he added, "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." In one of the videos from the event, Shetty can also be seen praising Taarak by saying, "Jr NTR is my friend & Brother. He didn't feel like a Telugu Hero, he felt like my own brother. I just came here to listen to Jr NTR's speech. Thanks for being here to support Kantara Chapter 1." Scheduled for a worldwide release on October 2, the film will be released in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English, reaching audiences across languages and regions while remaining deeply rooted in its cultural core.
