Several reports are doing the rounds suggesting that a bus carrying 20 junior artists of Kantara Chapter 1 got into an accident, severely injuring six of them. However, these reports have been refuted. A source close to the production stated, “The news making rounds is completely false. The Kantara: Chapter 1 team began shooting at 6 AM today, and everything is proceeding as normal. A minor accident occurred 20 kilometers away from the shooting location, involving a local bus carrying some members of the Kantara team. However, no injuries were reported.”
It was reported earlier that the bus carrying the crew met with the accident while returning to Kollur after completing the shoot at Mudoor in Jadkal. Meanwhile, after the massive success of Kantara, the makers are now working on its prequel, Kantara: Chapter 1. Rishabh Shetty will be reprising his role in it.
The filming of the prequel began in November last year and the teaser was released around the same time. Besides Rishabh, the film also stars Jayaram and Jisshu Sengupta. The film will be released on October 2nd 2025.
