The footage highlights the massive crew, the intensity of the environment, and the spiritual tone that defines the world of Kantara. It’s clear that this project is more than a film — it’s a cinematic meditation on folklore, faith, and identity.
A Stellar Creative Team Behind the Magic
Helping bring Rishab Shetty’s vision to life is a powerhouse creative team:
- B. Ajaneesh Loknath returns with his soul-stirring compositions, adding an otherworldly spiritual depth to the narrative.
- Cinematographer Arvind Kashyap captures the mystical mood of the film with masterful frames and visual grandeur.
