Rishab Shetty, Hombale Films participate in Bhoota Kola after Kantara’s phenomenal success, watch video

Bhoota Kola tradition was at the heart of Kantara. The visual element that the tradition managed to add to the narrative was rather the most important reason for the film to reach every corner of the country. The film had a very quiet release in Karnataka last September. However, the good word of mouth spread like wildfire across the country and it was embraced by all sections of the audience irrespective of their political and religious beliefs.

By official estimates, Kantara earned Rs 400 crore from its worldwide ticket sales. It was the most profitable film to have been made in India last year considering the cost-to-income ratio. The movie approximately cost just Rs 15 crore for its producers.

Kantara even won high praise from movie legend Kamal Haasan. In a special gesture, Kamal wrote a letter to Rishab, explaining how much he enjoyed watching Kantara. Superstar Rajinikanth was also a fan of Kantara. He invited Rishab to his house and presented him a gold chain as a token of his appreciation.

Will there be a sequel to Kantara? For now, Hombale Films is open to that idea.
