Hombale Films is undeniably one of the biggest content makers in Indian cinema. The leading production house has delivered a variety of content to mainstream audiences, including KGF Chapters 1 and 2 and the global sensation Kantara. All of the contents that came under the production house have brought audiences to the cinemas in large chunks and have been widely accepted by the masses. While the production house is gearing up for the release of their forthcoming biggie 'Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire', their recently announced 'Kantara Chapter 1' is also hugely awaited by the fans and the audiences.

Since the release of the first glimpse, the visuals have impressed audiences, and several theories have been created regarding the film. One of them is the stunning look of the lead actor and director, Rishab Shetty. While he has presented differently in the recently announced prequel, speculations have been rifted, indicating the look of Rishab Shetty might be on the lines of Lord Parashuram and his character might be heavily inspired by them.

One of the prime reasons for the speculation is that the axe weapon being shown in the announcement teaser is exactly the same that resonates with the Lord Parshuram, and the people of Konkan also have strong belief in the Lord Parshuram, and the land of Konkan is said to be 'Parshuram Bhumi'. It is to be noted that Parshuram ji was a devotee of Lord Shiva, and we have seen the character of Rishabh Shetty as Shiva in the first part, Kantara.
