What is Kantara: Chapter 1 about?
The prequel takes the audience back to the Kadamba period (3rd–4th century) and is set in the city of Bangra, located near the divine forest known as Madhuvana.
The movie revolves around Berme (Rishab), a tribal man who comes out of Kantara, the forest, to explore the village they have always feared. Meanwhile, King Rajasekhara is aware of the divine powers and continues to maintain a distance, but it is his son Kulashekara (Gulshan Devaiah), the new king, who steps into the forest. There is also the king’s daughter, Kanakavathi (Rukmini Vasanth), who takes care of the kingdom’s affairs.
In brief, the period drama is a blend of mythology, divine energy, and tribal wars.
