The release of “Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1” is fast approaching, and excitement is building. The film is generating considerable hype. Following the success of the first film, Indian audiences are eagerly awaiting the prequel. There are two significant updates regarding Rishab Shetty’s film: it has been approved by the censor board, and advance bookings for the Hindi version are now available.
Directed by the talented Rishab Shetty, the film is ready for its theatrical debut, with all final details confirmed. The CBFC has cleared the film with minimal modifications. No cuts were made to scenes of action or violence, and no dialogue was muted or altered.
A minor change was made: an objectionable hand gesture at the 45-minute mark was removed. Additionally, anti-drug warnings have been included wherever drug use is shown. The film received a U/A 16+ certificate on September 22nd, with a final runtime of 2 hours, 48 minutes, and 53 seconds.
Advance bookings have begun in Karnataka, with shows starting at 6:30 AM on October 2nd. Hindi-speaking audiences can now book their tickets. Advance bookings in the Hindi market began on the evening of September 26th. The film’s popularity in the Hindi belt will be evident once booking numbers are available.
The start of bookings for “Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1” has heightened anticipation for a box office battle. The film will compete with Varun Dhawan’s “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.” The number of shows and screens allocated to each film will determine the outcome.
