The action team behind the much-awaited prequel Kantara: Chapter 1 has confirmed that Rishab Shetty performed all his stunts himself, without the use of body doubles.
Action choreographer Arjun Raj revealed: “We didn’t use body doubles for Rishab. He performed bare-bodied, with a body language so unique that no dupe could replicate it. He trained rigorously in Kalaripayattu, sword fighting, and horse riding. The risks he took were purely out of willpower.”
Praising the actor’s dedication, Arjun Raj added: “I’ve worked with many actors, but Rishab doesn’t stop at saying, ‘I’ll try my best.’ He says, ‘I’ll do it till I am alive.’ That spirit changes everything.”
Backed by Hombale Films, Kantara: Chapter 1 is slated for a worldwide release on October 2.
