In an interview with a news portal, Haasan was asked which film blew his mind in 2022. Replying to the same, he said that it was Rishab Shetty’s ‘Kantara’. The actor further added that the film has set a great example and he is happy because he too belongs to the Kannada industry.
Haasan also went on to say that the clouds have parted and more and more people are thinking differently in Karnataka, the land which gave films like ‘Vamsa Vriksha’, ‘Ondanondu Kaladalli’ and ‘Kaadu’. ‘Those days are returning’, the actor told Film Companion.
Rishab took to his Instagram story to share a clip from the video interview with his fans and wrote, ‘Thank you, sir.’
The release of ‘Kantara’ has taken the film industry and box office by storm. The film has garnered love and appreciation not only from the audiences but also from the entire industry. Several celebrities including Hrithik Roshan, Prabhas, Dhanush, Anushka Shetty, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Shilpa Shetty have heaped praise on the film.
The film revolves around a fiery young man who clashes with an unflinching forest officer in his village where spirituality, fate and folklore rule the lands. The film is written and directed by Rishab Shetty.
