Rishab Shetty's dedication and passion are rare - NTR

NTR and Rishab Shetty have become very close friends and it was visible at the Hyderabad pre-release event of highly anticipated Kantara Chapter 1. Hombale Films is producing the film and it is a prequel to Pan-India blockbuster Kantara. NTR attended as chief guest to the event despite being in pain.

The event became a huge success with many people attending it. Rishab Shetty spoke in Kannada and stated that language barriers have been tarnished. He thanked Telugu people for their support for Kantara and requested them to watch Kantara Chapter 1 in theatres only. He thanked NTR for being a friend to him and attending event.

NTR remembered Rishab Shetty's hospitality when he wanted to take his mother to Udupi Krishna temple. He stated that no one else would have been so concerned to help them leaving their work behind. He further stated that his mother's ancestral home is in Kundapura and he heard many stories about Panjruli and Guliga Deva.

Hence, he got goosebumps watching Kantara but if it became a Pan-India sensation that's because of Rishab Shetty. He remarked that it is rare to find such passion for cinema and requested audiences to watch Kantara Chapter 1 in theatres as it would another remarkable spectacle. The movie is releasing on 2nd October in multiple languages and renowned producers Mythri Movie Makers are releasing it in Telugu.
