All Eyes on Rishab Shetty: Will He Speak in Telugu at the Kantara Chapter 1 Vijayawada Event?
The wait is almost over! Rishab Shetty’s much-anticipated mythical drama Kantara: Chapter 1 is gearing up for a grand release on October 2, 2025. Rishab not only plays the lead but has also directed the film, with Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead.
The team is back in Telugu states for promotions, and today’s stop is Vijayawada. All eyes are on Rishab’s speech after he faced criticism at the recent Telugu pre-release event for speaking entirely in Kannada. With Rukmini joining him on stage this time, fans are curious to see how he addresses the crowd.
Along with the lead pair, the film also stars Jayaram, Gulshan Devaiah, Pramod Shetty and others in key roles. Backed by Hombale Films, Kantara: Chapter 1 features music by Ajaneesh Lokanath.
Mahakali is a brand-new Telugu superhero film that is making waves even before its release. Written by Prasanth Varma and directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru, the film promises a blend of mythology and modern superhero action.
One of the major highlights of the film is the casting of Akahaye Khanna in the pivotal role of Shukracharya. Fans are already excited to see how the actor brings depth and intensity to this mythological character.
Mahakali has music composed by Smaran Sai, adding a powerful dimension to the storytelling, while Riwaz Ramesh Duggal produces the film on his RKD Studios banner.
Akshaye Khanna made headlines recently for his solid role in the Vicky Kaushal starrer, Chaavaa, which was a blockbuster hit at the box office.
