Prabhas on ‘Kantara’ trailer
The trailer, which dropped this week, has already become the talk of the town. Dark, powerful, and visually breathtaking, it captures the mood of an intense story set in the heart of tradition and faith.
Among those cheering the loudest is none other than pan-India superstar Prabhas. The ‘Baahubali’ actor launched the Telugu version of the trailer and could not hold back his excitement.
Sharing it on social media, he wrote, “The #KantaraChapter1 Trailer is truly powerful and grand. Congrats and all the best to Vijay Kiragandur, Rishab Shetty, and the entire team. Can’t wait for the October 2nd release. This is going to be a blockbuster!”
But the excitement is not just about the trailer. Behind the scenes, ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ has been made on a scale rarely seen in Indian cinema. A massive war sequence has been created with international experts, featuring over 500 trained fighters and nearly 3,000 people in total. To shoot this, the makers built an entire town across 25 acres of rugged land.
The sequence alone took almost 50 days to film.
The movie also brings together a strong creative team: music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, cinematography by Arvind Kashyap, and production design by Vinesh Banglan.
Set for a grand worldwide release on October 2, the film will release in multiple languages: Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and even English.
Featuring Prabhas in a complex role, the film explores duty, emotion and ideology during the British era. The project also marks his return to a large-scale period drama after 'Baahubali'.
Puri Jagannadh was sitting in a Bangkok hospital waiting room with a minor infection. A nurse asked if he was from India. He said yes. She asked one word: "Baahubali?"
The world of 'Kalki 2898 AD' is not done yet. Director Nag Ashwin has confirmed that the cameras will roll again next month, and this time, the pace will be relentless. Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan are back.
