RIshab Shetty is basking in the success of Kantara Chapter 1. The prequel to the 2022 give up has already broken in package power records since its free last Friday. It seems that the actor did not leave any stone unturned to ensure he looked the part of a warrior in the film. He trained in the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu under Vipindas Gurukkal at Athma Kalari, as shared by the Instagram account of Athma Kalari Village.

Hat’s off, sir @rishabshettyofficial.”In a second post on the account, Rishab was seen at the centre with two other members. The caption read, “He’s not just an actor — he’s a storyteller, a visionary, and the soul behind a cinematic revolution. From Kantara to Chapter 1, Rishab Shetty continues to inspire us with the courage to tell stories rooted in tradition, truth, and raw power. Here’s to the man who brings folklore to life. From the kalari floor to the silver screen, gratitude for witnessing this incredible transformation. Forever grateful for the journey that taught him kalaripayattu, and today the world celebrates his success.”About Kantara Chapter 1Set during the Kadamba dynasty in Karnataka, Kantara Chapter 1 explores the region’s cultural heritage.
