Kantara Actor Says No Meat Or Alcohol Before Film, True or Fake?

A false rumor recently went viral about the Kannada movie Kantara: Chapter 1, causing a lot of confusion among fans. The film, directed by Rishab Shetty and produced by Hombale Films, is set to release worldwide on October 2. Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead, and the trailer has already made a strong impression with its beautiful visuals and deep cultural elements.

The confusion began when a poster claimed viewers should avoid eating meat, drinking alcohol, or using tobacco before watching the movie. People online started talking about whether these so-called “Kantara Deeksha” rules were real. Many criticized the idea and found it strange, especially since the first part of the film shows scenes with meat. The rumor spread quickly on social media.

Rishab Shetty clarified that the poster was fake. He said the production team confirmed there are no such restrictions for the audience. “We don’t want to respond to false information,” he said, adding that the film is about telling a story and honoring cultural traditions, not about setting rules for people.

Hombale Films also spoke up, telling fans to ignore the rumors on social media.

They explained that Kantara: Chapter 1 is about celebrating local culture and traditions, and it’s not meant to limit or upset anyone. With the trailer getting a lot of attention and excitement growing, everyone is focusing on the story, the performances, and the overall movie experience instead of the untrue online talk.
