It's a done deal! The prequel to Rishab Shetty's blockbuster movie Kantara has been revealed. Yes, the actor toasted the milestone with his crew when the movie passed 100 days in theaters and revealed the news of a prequel. After a performance, he thanked the crowd and announced, "What you have seen is actually Part 2; Part 1 will appear next year."

We are overjoyed and grateful to the public for their overwhelming love and support for Kantara and for propelling the adventure forward. What you just saw is Part 2, and Part 1 will be released in 2019, according to an ANI report.

Added Rishab Shetty, "The concept first came to me when I was filming Kantara since Kantara's history is more complex than others, and as far as the script is concerned, we are now looking into further specifics. It would be premature to disclose any information regarding the movie as the study is still in its early stages."
