The team of Kantara Chapter 1 seems to be facing one problem after another. Recently, news spread that a boat carrying actor-director Rishab Shetty and 30 others capsized in the Mani reservoir.
Luckily, all of them swam to safety. However, the production team later clarified that it was just a set that collapsed due to strong winds, not a boat accident.
Since the shoot began, many unfortunate incidents have taken place. A van carrying junior artists met with an accident.
Actor Kapil drowned while swimming. Two other artists—Rakesh Pujari and mimicry artist Kalabhavan Viju—died of heart attacks, causing shock and concern in the industry.
As the film deals with divine folklore, a strange unease now surrounds the project.
A theater artist warned against commercializing gods, while a man in ritual attire claimed Rishab has enemies close by.
With a court case still pending and the October 2 release nearing, an eerie cloud seems to hang over Kantara Chapter 1, almost as if unseen forces are watching.
Well, the astrologers who are popular online are yet to comment on this, as they usually build their market by suggesting various remedies.
