“Rishab is writing the story now and has gone to the forests of coastal Karnataka with his writing associates for two months to conduct research for the film,” Hombale Films founder Vijay Kiragandur told Deadline.

“He plans to start shooting in June, as a portion of the shoot requires the rainy season, and our intention is to give the film a pan-India release in April or May next year.”

Kiragandur said the budget for the prequel will be substantially bigger than for the first film: “Kantara was so successful that whatever we do next has to be big, as expectations are high. We’ll add a few names to the cast but we want to keep it authentic and similar in style and substance to the first film.”

Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Kantara 2 will go on floors in November 2023. The makers have locked in the shooting timelines, and they will commence the first schedule on November 1st. "Rishab Shetty and his team have finished the writing and are currently immersed in pre-production. While the first part was shot in Shetty's hometown in Kundapura, Kantara 2 will prominently be shot in Mangalore. This location encompasses the required elements of jungle, land, and water as dictated by the script. The film has got bigger in budget and cast this time and will be filmed on a larger scale over a four-month schedule," a source told us, adding that the makers intend to finish the shooting by the first quarter of next year, targeting its theatrical release in late 2024.

Kantara 2 is a prequel that explores the backstory of the folklore featured in the first part. The hyper-local story will delve into the origin of deity, Panjurli Daiva. Rishab and his team went to the forest of coastal Karnataka for two months to conduct research and have been rigorously preparing to bestow audiences with unparalleled cinematic experiences with this forthcoming part. Kantara 2 will soon be officially announced with a poster and title.

 
A source close to the development spoke to IndiaToday.in and said, “‘Kantara 2’ shoot begins in December. Rishab is currently prepping for the film, which is being planned to be mounted on a larger scale than the first one. A lot of action can be expected in the second part, hence the shooting schedule is spread across vast timelines. The film will be shot across three phases and is expected to end by August 2024. ‘Kantara 2’ will mostly be shot in the country."

Rishab Shetty has been undergoing extensive physical training for the second part of the film. The film’s script was locked in the first half of 2023, Chaluve Gowda of Hombale Films had revealed to IndiaToday.in.

 
They need to work on something fresh. First one was unique. Try to capitalise this will backfire. Old one will be ruined.
